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 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.

It is a treasure trove of visual stories waiting to be discovered.
