Electrolier

"The accompanying design of an electrolier is from the facile pen and brush of Mr L Henry. The centre piece of the ceiling is shown in black section.

"The number of illuminating lamps, of course, would be regulated according to the size of the hall or room to be lighted, but in any case it would add considerably to the attractiveness of its surrondings."
