Rather than showing a single lantern, this page sets out a row of numbered designs under the heading LANTERNS, as if meant for side-by-side comparison or ordering. Pages like this were common in trade catalogs and reference books from the 19th and early 20th centuries, when light came from oil, gas, and, in mines, specially built safety lamps. Its place in the Natural Resources Utility group fits that history, since lighting depended closely on fuel supply and industrial work. The numbering is worth a closer look, because it suggests the page was used to identify and order particular models.
