1894 Fuel Lamp Lighting Lights Safe Odourless Saxoleine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online captures a moment in history with an advertisement for Saxoleine, a safe and odourless fuel used to light oil lamps. The image features a elegant lady delicately lighting an oil lamp, showcasing the convenience and reliability of Saxoleine as a fuel source.
Dating back to 1894, this historical photograph provides a glimpse into domestic life during the late 19th century. The use of Saxoleine not only ensured safety when lighting lamps but also eliminated any unpleasant odours that traditional fuels may have emitted.
The soft glow of the lamp illuminates the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that would have been common in households of that era. The attention to detail in both the setting and attire of the lady adds authenticity to this nostalgic scene.
As we admire this piece of history preserved through photography, we are reminded of how advancements in technology have transformed everyday tasks like lighting a lamp. This image serves as a reminder of simpler times while highlighting the importance of innovation in improving our quality of life.
Overall, this print is not just an advertisement but also a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate how far we've come while cherishing traditions that continue to shape our modern world.
