EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from Mary Evans Picture Library showcases a piece of history - the Robertson incandescent electric lamp. Dating back to around 1900, this innovative light bulb promised consumers long life and energy savings, making it a popular choice for domestic lighting at the time. The caption on the image proudly declares that "long life bulbs are nothing new" with the Robertson lamp offering both longevity and efficiency.
The image captures a glimpse into the past when electricity was still a relatively new technology in households. The warm glow of these incandescent bulbs would have illuminated homes and businesses alike, providing both practicality and ambiance.
As we look back on this historical artifact, we can appreciate how far lighting technology has come since then. While modern LED lights may now dominate the market for their energy efficiency, there is something charming about the simplicity and reliability of these early electric lamps.
Whether used for task lighting or creating a cozy atmosphere in a room, the Robertson light bulb represented progress and convenience for those who embraced it over a century ago. This print serves as a reminder of how innovation in lighting has shaped our daily lives throughout history.
