EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving by Bertrand, titled 'Lamplighter cleaning an old lamppost,' transports us back in time to the 19th century Parisian streets. The image beautifully encapsulates the historical significance of the lamplighter's role in illuminating the city. The lamplighter, dressed in his distinctive uniform, is seen climbing an old, rustic ladder to reach the top of a lamppost. His lantern in hand, he meticulously cleans the glass shade, ensuring that the light will shine brightly throughout the night. The warm glow of the lantern illuminates the cobblestone streets, casting a soft, romantic light on the scene. The age of the lamplighter and the lamppost adds to the nostalgic atmosphere of the image. The lamppost, with its intricate design and ornate detailing, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the past. The lamplighter's dedication to his work, evident in his focused expression, highlights the importance of maintaining the city's lighting system during an era before electric streetlights. This engraving is a reminder of the rich history and tradition behind the simple act of lighting the streets. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and charm of a bygone era, where the lamplighter's role was a crucial part of the daily rhythm of urban life.
