EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the transformative power of electricity, as depicted by the Australian General Electric Company in the early 1900s. With bases in both Sydney and Melbourne, the Australian General Electric Co. was at the forefront of bringing this modern convenience to Australian homes. The image, circa 1916, illustrates a red lamp casting an intense, warm glow into a cozy living room. The lamp, with its powerful beam, symbolizes the benefits of electricity, which brought light and progress to the Australian household. The scene is reminiscent of a quiet evening, as the family gathers around, enjoying the comfort and security that electricity provides. The illustration, from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Australian history, when the country embraced the promise of a brighter future through the use of electricity.
