EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the Inventions Exhibition of 1885, as depicted in this photograph from the archives. This image transports us back in time to the South Kensington area of London, where the extravagant illuminations of Sir Francis Bolton's lighting scheme took center stage. The Inventions Exhibition, held from December 1884 to August 1885, showcased the latest technological innovations of the time. However, it was the after-hours spectacle of illuminated gardens, fountains, and buildings that truly dazzled visitors. Sir Francis Bolton, an accomplished electrical engineer, was responsible for the import of over 21,000 electric light bulbs from the United States for this grand display. The 8th of August, 1885, was a particularly memorable night as the gardens were bathed in an ethereal glow. The photograph captures the beauty and grandeur of the scene, with the intricately designed buildings and structures illuminated by the electric lights. The tranquil gardens, adorned with vibrant flowers and shimmering fountains, add to the enchanting atmosphere. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe-inspiring impact of electric light on the world. Sir Francis Bolton's lighting scheme was a testament to human ingenuity and the power of innovation, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. This image, from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the rich history of scientific and technological advancements that have shaped our world. It is a treasure trove of visual stories waiting to be discovered.
