EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, titled "Atlas Lamps and Tubes: All the Better to See With," transports us back to the 20th century and invites us to explore the world of electric lighting. The image features a humanized Atlas figure, whose muscular form is accentuated by the intricate details of the lamps and tubes that form his body. His eyes, shaped like light bulbs with long, curved eyelashes, suggest a playful and whimsical take on the concept of illumination. The poster's color palette is rich and varied, with a contrast between the warm whites, yellows, and blues, and the dark background. The lamps and tubes are depicted in various sizes and shapes, showcasing the versatility of the technology. The poster's text, written in bold, clear letters, emphasizes the importance of good lighting for various activities, from reading a book to working in a factory. The poster's design is both artistic and informative, making it a fascinating piece of advertising from the past. It is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Thorn Electrical Industries, a leading electrical company in Australia during the 20th century. This poster is not only a reminder of the role that electricity and lighting played in shaping our modern world but also a visual delight that continues to captivate and inspire.
