Table of Contents Collectors and students of kerosene lighting will celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited Oil Lamps 3: Victorian Kerosene Lighting, 1860 - 1900. The word "variety" best describes this entertaining and informative book that broadens the reader's scope of knowledge of the kerosene era. Catherine Thuro's two previous books on kerosene lighting are widely accepted as the definitive studies in the field. Now, in Oil Lamps 3, Thuro presents a broad selection of new examples and observations, again based on her painstaking research in primary sources such as manufacturers' catalogs, advertising, and patents. The continuing search by Catherine Thuro has brought to light many more examples of unrecorded lamps. Oil lamps are showcased in hundreds of black and white and color photographs throughout these pages, with greater emphasis on diversity, trimmings, and the probable placement in the home. Lighting fixtures such as hall, hanging, or bracket lamps reveal that Victorian homeowners had an astounding selection from which to choose. The many catalog illustrations and advertisements serve not only to date lamps and perhaps identify their manufacturer, but they also give insight into marketing strategies and advertising techniques similar to present-day practices. Thuro illustrates many patented lamps, burners, accessories, and trimmings that have not been published in book form. Actual patent models are pictured and a list of many that have survived is given. This third volume is both a visual feast and a wealth of information for readers and collectors. Nearly 20 years in the making! New selection of examples and observations Includes hall, hanging, and bracket lamps Catalog illustrations and advertisements Nearly 800 color & black and white photographs Broadens scope of knowledge on kerosene era Offers patented lamps, burners, and trimmings Quite possibly Mrs. Thuro's best work ever!
