"The Lamp Lighter" is a notable entry in the extensive collection known as "Ackermann's World in Miniature," a series of illustrated books edited by Frederic Shoberl. Published in the early 19th century, this series aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive and visually engaging overview of various cultures, professions, and daily life from around the world. "The Lamp Lighter" specifically focuses on the profession of lighting street lamps, a crucial job during a time when public lighting was transitioning from oil lamps to gas lamps.

Frederic Shoberl, an accomplished editor and writer, was instrumental in curating and compiling the content for "Ackermann's World in Miniature." His work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting accurate and vivid depictions of the subjects covered. The series was published by Rudolph Ackermann, a prominent London-based publisher known for his high-quality illustrated books and prints.

"The Lamp Lighter" provides readers with a glimpse into the life and duties of a lamp lighter, a profession that was essential for maintaining public safety and order during the night in urban areas. The book includes detailed illustrations that capture the lamp lighter's tools, attire, and the process of lighting and extinguishing lamps. These visual elements are complemented by descriptive text that explains the significance of the profession and its evolution over time.

As part of "Ackermann's World in Miniature," "The Lamp Lighter" serves as both an educational resource and a historical document, preserving the memory of a once-common occupation that has since become obsolete with the advent of electric street lighting. The series as a whole remains a valuable reference for historians, researchers, and enthusiasts of 19th-century culture and technology.
