Imaginary Oil Lamp Museum

Plot

"An Imaginary Oil Lamp Museum" depicts Philippe Orsetti's comprehensive collection of 2,000 oil lamp illustrations. Pulling from his own holdings and the archives of multiple museums, it constitutes the premier oil lamp encyclopedia reference document which spans centuries, empires, and geography. In one 530-page document, glossy coated paper with full color illustrations brings oil lamps from prehistoric to modern times to life. Do you want to take a journey through practically all empires, dynasties, and cultures? Just follow the light!
