Workers, dressed in typical late-19th-century attire, are engrossed in their tasks, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the lamps they are producing. The factory's interior is a labyrinth of machinery, with large, open workspaces, and a multitude of workbenches, each adorned with various components of the lamp assembly process.
