Title: Electric Lighting: Its Present Position and Future Prospects. With Original Illustrations
Description: London, Whitehead, Morris & Lowe. 1888, First Edition. Paper Covers, 8vo. 140mm x 215mm tall (5.5" x 8.5" approx.). 98pp, with black-printed head & tail-pieces and decorated capitals, each page being framed in red, with 25 text figures many of which are multi-image. Red-printed addendum slip loosely inserted. Original thin grey paper covers/black title & rulings lacking spine and somewhat edge-chipped, but internally very good, the whole having been removed apparently from a larger volume presumably containing several other contemporary books oand/or catalogues. A most uncommon survival, with only four examples being recorded on COPAC. Published only seven years after the opening by Joseph Swan, in 1881, of Benwell Lamps, the world’s first light bulb factory. Fair.
