Billy Goat

By billygoat

At Cragside, a special exhibition entitled Lux to celebrate Armstrong's interest in electricity and artificial light.
I thought this was quite appropriate with the old carbon string lamps - until I saw the stuffed swan.
Evidently a reference to Joseph Swan, the inventor of the incandescent lamp (probably not Thomas Edison despite his law suits and self publicity).
