Edinburgh Electric Lighting - 1895 |
|
Thank you to Michael AG McNiven for letting me see the invitation, above, to the Control Station, Dewar Place, on 11 April 1895, the day that electric street lights were first switched on in Edinburgh Michael wrote: "I have the original ticket which belonged to my late father, who presumably inherited from a family member."

This invitation above was printed by George Stewart & Co, Edinburgh, the company that is reputed to have been the first in Britain to produce picture postcards, at around the same time as the invitation above was printed. Here is a George Stewart & Co postcard from the 1890s. |
