EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Edison Electric Lighting exhibit at the Paris Exhibition of 1889. The United States Section proudly showcased this groundbreaking invention that would forever change the way we illuminate our world.
In the late 19th century, electricity was still a relatively new and awe-inspiring technology, and Thomas Edison's innovative electric lighting system was at the forefront of this revolution. The intricate display featured an array of light bulbs illuminating the space, showcasing the power and potential of this remarkable invention.
As visitors marveled at the bright glow emanating from these revolutionary devices, they were witnessing firsthand the future of lighting technology. The American exhibit stood out among its international counterparts, highlighting America's ingenuity and forward-thinking approach to innovation.
Terry Parker expertly captured this historic moment with his keen eye for detail and composition. The image exudes a sense of wonder and excitement, transporting viewers back to a time when electricity was still considered magical.
Today, we take electric lighting for granted as an essential part of our daily lives. But looking back at this photograph reminds us of how far we've come thanks to visionaries like Thomas Edison who dared to dream big and push boundaries in pursuit of progress.
