EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in April 1881, showcases the pioneering innovation of Electric Lighting in the Library of Sir William Armstrong's residence, Cragside. As an industrialist and pioneer in the field of hydraulics, Armstrong's curiosity extended beyond engineering and into the realm of electricity. In this image, we see him seated at his desk, engrossed in a book, with the soft glow of Swan Lighting illuminating the room. The electric lights, a source of both power and service, transformed the library from a dimly lit space to a bright and inviting environment. The 1880s, a pivotal decade in the 19th century, marked the beginning of the widespread adoption of electric lighting. This photograph is a testament to Armstrong's forward-thinking approach to technology and his commitment to enhancing the comfort and functionality of his home. The Swan Lighting, named after its inventor Thomas Edison, was the first commercially practical incandescent light bulb, and its introduction revolutionized the way we live and work in our homes. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and significance of this early electrical innovation.
