Summary
[edit]DescriptionBude Light Trafalgar Square 1845 b.png |
English: "BUDE LIGHTS, TRAFALGAR-SQUARE - The lanterns for the reception of the Bude Lights to illumine this fine area, exhibit certain novel and meritorious peculiarities of form and construction, which has induced us to engrave them for our columns. The lanterns, four in number, are of an octagonal shape, from the design of Mr. Barry, R.A., and manufactured by Messrs. Stevens and Son, of the Darlington Works, Southwark. They are placed on four large bronze pedestals ; the height of the larger pair, from the base to the bottom of the lamp , is 3 feet six inches,.. These are to be fixed on the massive granite pillars on the south-east and south-west angles of the square. The two smaller ones are... height, 9 feet to the bottom of the lamp. These are destined for the balustrades opposite the National Gallery: the gun metal, of which the whole is composed, is ⅜ of an inch thick. The lamps are to be glazed with flint glass of the substance of an inch, with a 2-inch cut bevel, worked parallel surfaces, and all highly polished. The refraction of light occasioned by these numerous varieties of surface is likely to produce a very brilliant effect".
