Poster featuring a colored image advertising the Edison Mazda light bulb. The print shows "The Venetian Lamplighter" as three figures on a boat, lighting lamps in the lagoon at dusk. This is a photomechanical reproduction of the original. It would have been part of a series of images done for an Edison Lamp Works of General Electric Co. calendar illustrating the development of light.
