American Lighting: 1840-1940

Great book. Great price. I have learned a lot about the blue willow plate. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks

Great book loaded with information and illustrations. Good for getting an overall picture of that era in lighting fixtures.

Good book with detailed information.

GREAT

Great Gift for the collector or dealer

I really like this book as a general reference. Great visuals and wonderful aesthetic. Great definition of "Fluid Lamps". Using color photographs and rare catalog material, this book concentrates on domestic lighting, making this an important book for home restorers and decorators seeking to capture an authentic look in their homes. The informative text and history of the American lighting industry makes it a welcome, valuable addition to the libraries of historians, collectors, and others interested in the development of American design and technology. Advanced researchers may express disappointed but for a general overview you'll want it for your library. It has a welcomed place on my shelf.
