Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. "Colonial Lighting" is a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the evolution of artificial light in early America. Written by Arthur H. Hayward, this seminal work delves into the various methods and devices used by colonists to illuminate their homes and workplaces, from the primitive Betty lamps and rushlights of the earliest settlers to the more sophisticated tin, brass, and glass fixtures of the late eighteenth century.The text meticulously documents the transition from simple grease lamps to ornate chandeliers and street lamps, highlighting the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind these essential household items. The book serves as an invaluable resource for collectors of Americana and historians alike, providing detailed descriptions and insights into the materials-such as wrought iron, pewter, and glass-that defined the aesthetic and functional qualities of colonial lighting. Through its focused study of lanterns, sconces, and candle molds, "Colonial Lighting" illuminates not just the physical objects of the past, but also the daily lives and social customs of the people who used them. This work remains a cornerstone for anyone interested in the decorative arts and the material culture of the American colonial period.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
