| Description: |
Very soon after the development and popularization of the bicycle in the nineteenth century, cyclists realised that in order to cycle in the dark, some form of lighting was essential, both to light the way ahead, but also to alert other road users. This book deals with the early inventions of the cycle lamps. |
| Synopsis: |
Very soon after the development and popularization of the bicycle in the nineteenth century, keen cyclists realised that in order to cycle in the dark, some form of lighting was essential, both to light the way ahead, but also to alert other road users. Manufacturers were quick to respond to demand, and soon a wide range of simple lamps was available, usually fuelled by oil. But cycle lamps quickly grew in sophistication as makers tried to out-do one another with the style and efficiency of their lamps. The acetylene cycle lamps of the early part of the twentieth century are stunning examples of decorative design and manufacture. |
