EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Uruguayan culture and the excitement of a festival celebration during the 1910s. The image showcases an intricately designed float, created for the Edison Electric Company's participation in a local procession. The float, adorned with various electrical components, represents the company's commitment to innovation and progress in Uruguay, a country that was rapidly modernizing during this period. The central feature of the float is a magnificent sea serpent, a mythical creature often depicted in Uruguayan folklore. The serpent's body is formed by a series of interconnected Edison lamps, symbolizing the interconnectedness of the electrical grid and the power it brings to communities. The serpent's head is crowned with a radiant lamp, emitting a warm, inviting glow. Surrounding the sea serpent are various models of Edison electric lamps, showcasing the versatility and functionality of the company's products. The float is pulled by a team of horses, adding to the festive atmosphere and demonstrating the harmony between tradition and modernity. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Uruguay and its relationship with the Edison Electric Company during the early 20th century.
