'Visions of the Night' illustration in 'Fun', London, June 7, 1882
'Visions of the Night', ''Fun'', June 7, 1882 Source “Visions of the night. 19th-century cartoon and poem depicting a man reading a mystic book by an electric light. He is visited by an owl, vampire bats, ghouls, and an imp. The poem (titled 'Visions of the Night') refers to the stage magicians John Maskelyne and George Cooke, as well as the overhead light (a 'weird electric light'). Electric lighting technology varied in quality as it was developed during the 19th century, with truly modern light bulbs not appearing until the early 20th century.” (Source)
