EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Types of safety-lamps" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of historical safety lamps. The lithograph was created by an English School artist for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia in approximately 1922. Displayed against a dark backdrop, the various types of safety lamps are meticulously illustrated, showcasing their intricate designs and mechanisms. These lamps were crucial tools used to provide illumination while ensuring miners' safety during underground work. The image features iconic names such as Davy, Stephenson, Clanny, Marsaut, Mueseler, Howat Ashworth Hepplewhite Gray - pioneers who contributed significantly to the development of these life-saving devices. Each lamp bears its own unique characteristics and innovations that revolutionized mining practices at the time. With its rich historical significance and detailed depiction of these essential instruments, this print offers a valuable insight into an era when knowledge about mine safety was rapidly advancing. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and ingenuity displayed by individuals like those from London's Royal Institution in creating safer working conditions for miners worldwide. This artwork is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images for educational purposes only. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only the artistic merit behind it but also acknowledge how far we have come in terms of industrial progress and worker protection since then.
