Introducing the captivating "Safety Lamps / 1826" print from the Media Storehouse collection, brought to you in partnership with Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. This historic photograph showcases two iconic inventions that revolutionized mining safety: Stephenson's Lamp (1-4) and Davy's Lamp (5). Stephenson's Lamp, also known as the "miner's safety lamp," features in the first four diagrams. Its unique design included a glass chimney and a wick, which burned in a pool of water to prevent the lamp from causing a gas explosion. This groundbreaking invention significantly reduced mining accidents caused by coal gas. On the right, Davy's Lamp (5) stands as another monumental safety innovation. Designed by Sir Humphry Davy, the lamp used a jet of light to burn off the inflammable gases surrounding the miner, creating a protective bubble of air. Together, these lamps transformed the mining industry, making workplaces safer for miners. Adorn your walls with this fascinating piece of history, as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped our world.
