The Art of Illumination

Abstract

WHEN the importance of artificial light and its effect upon our comfort and eyes is considered, it seems impossible that the technique of healthy and satisfactory lighting should have been neglected in the way it has. The fact, however, remains that although there are books in plenty on the various available illuminants and the generation of light from them, yet the true art of illumination has received but scant attention.

The Art of Illumination.

By Louis Bell Pp. ix + 345; with 127 illustrations. (New York: McGraw Publishing Co., 1902.) Price 2.50 dollars.
