Created by English engineer Humphrey Day in 1881, this lamp features a flame surrounded by metal gauze, providing miners with much-needed protection against dangerous explosions caused by flammable gases.
The intricate details of the lamp are beautifully captured in this image, highlighting the innovative technology that played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of workers underground.
