ART EVERY DAY NUMBER 327 / ILLUSTRATION / LIGHT
Art Every Day Number 327 LIGHT is an oil lamp from the farm.
“… Oil lamps are a form of lighting, and were used as an alternative to candles before the use of electric lights. Starting in 1780, the Argand lamp quickly replaced other oil lamps still in their basic ancient form. These in turn were replaced by the kerosene lamp in about 1850. In small towns and rural areas the latter continued in use well into the 20th century, until such areas were finally electrified and light bulbs could be used…” Wikipedia
