EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1908, we are transported back to a time when electricity was still a novelty and the turn of the century marked an era of progress and innovation. The image captures a woman in her middle-class home, dressed in fashionable attire of the period, as she pulls the switch on an electric lamp. This lamp is not just any ordinary lighting fixture; its base takes the form of a beautifully sculpted female figure. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable, showcasing both the advancements in science and technology during that time and also providing us with a glimpse into daily life at the dawn of electrification. The woman's headdress adds an air of elegance to her appearance while she effortlessly operates this modern marvel. Photographed by a studio based in Chicago, Illinois, this image reflects the growing prosperity and wealth found within North American society during this period. It serves as a reminder that even though electricity may have been considered luxurious at that time, it was becoming increasingly accessible to those who could afford it. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only the artistry captured within its frame but also provides historical context for how our lives have been transformed by technological advancements over time.
