Electric Light Demonstration, London, 1848
Staite's demonstration on the steps of the National Gallery. An easel was raised, beneath which were placed the battery and a small lamp. About a foot above the battery was the light produced burning upon two pieces of charcoal, backed by a single tin reflector, and the light enclosed within a glass case. Under his beam, the recently opened Trafalgar Square emerged from the gloom. William Edwards Staite (April 19, 1809, September 26, 1854) was an English inventor. He developed and patented a number of improved arc lamps. Primary batteries had to be used to power individual lamps, and batteries cost too much to be used for a permanent system. His Patent Electric Light Co. failed in 1850 after only a few years in business. He received little credit at the time for his work. This image has been colorized.
