Step back in time with this image of a lamplighter at work in 19th century London, as captured by an unnamed photographer and now available as a print from Mary Evans Picture Library. In the heart of the bustling city, the soft glow of gas lamps illuminated the streets after dark, making the work of the lamplighters essential for ensuring the safety and security of the community. The scene depicts a lamplighter climbing a rickety wooden ladder, his assistant standing below with a can of oil in hand, ready to pass it up to him. The lamplighter carefully pours the oil into the lamp's reservoir, the golden liquid cascading down the sides in a mesmerizing dance.
