Lighting the Way for Early Automobiles

In addition to lighting the road in front of them with headlamps, automobile drivers used side lamps on their vehicles to provide additional safety lighting on dark country roads. Side lamps helped drivers see automobiles approaching from side roads. The Solar Lamp Co. of Kenosha, Wisconsin, made this side lamp about 1910. ID.68.19.354
