"Light Campaign Series" is composed of six plates using art painted around 1920 by Norman Rockwell for the Edison Lamp Works where he would illustrate the impact of the new electric light, both as it illuminated the enduring strengths of the American family, and as it revealed new possibilities. The Light Campaign illustrations were historic; they were a vital part of the great campaign that sold modern electric light to America. Each plate was produced by Edwin Knowles china Company, and limited to 150 firing days, and is 8-1/2 inch in diameter. All plates are boxed with certificate of authenticity. Two complete sets for sale. "This is the Room That Light Made" First issue, nothing could be more important than making the right impression-after all, these are the grandparents of the man she loves. So she put on her best dress, spent hours curling her hair, and, heart-in –hand went to the dinner. How fully her efforts were repaid; the lovers and the grand old couple hit it off immediately. This plate is not only a vivid tableau alive with closely observed people; it is also an insightful exploration of the sweeping changes caused by perhaps the single most important invention of Rockwell's generation-the electric light bulb. "Grandpa's Treasure Chest" the second issue. It is that hour on a Sunday afternoon when church is over and dinner is still little more than the savory mix of aromas issuing from the busy kitchen. But for this winsome brother and sister the afternoon unfolds in sheer delight as Grandpa reveals the treasures in his special chest. Still in their crisp Sunday clothes, the children enter the cool, musty sanctuary of the attic where soft shadows hide a world of dreams and memories. Grandpa gathers his golden-haired granddaughter onto his knee and begins his stories. Grandpa thrusts an antique brass candleholder, bearing a nearly exhausted and unlit candle, into the circle of light cast by the hanging electric lamp. "Father's Help" the third issue. The party is over, and Mother, too weary to put away her pearl necklace, relaxes with her knitting. But for the men of the family there's work to be done. Teacher's given an assignment, it's due on her desk in the morning. So the son dutifully opens his book and sits down to the task. But the long page filled with numbers is too much for a boy with sleep in his eyes. Fortunately, Father's there to help, and that make all the difference. "Evening's Ease" the fourth issue. Evening enfolds the dignified couple in its soft shadows, but it does not dim the light of their love. While the old gentleman reads aloud from a favorite book of verse, his wife pauses in her needlework, hearing, perhaps the echoes of another reading long ago. Their love has mellowed now; it has grown deep and rich. As this couple sit before the fire, they remind us that love can endure, and find its truest expression in the twilight of life. " Close Harmony" the fifth issue. They gather around the piano, four friends sing with one voice. The feuds and frets of the day are forgotten; their whole world is a melody, as fresh and innocent as the sound of young voices rose in harmonious song. "The Birthday Wish" the sixth issue. With the chorus of "Happy Birthday to You" still ringing in her ears, this adorable towhead proudly puffs out her cheeks to give the mightiest blow of her young life…and watches the candles on her home-backed cake flicker out. Nestled between her proud parents, the birthday girl acts out her part in the simple festival that sums up the birthday party.
