Cartoon titled 'Bird Migration'. The lantern of the Eddystone Light of Plymouth was used to observe autumn bird migration. The pun on Edison's name in the caption is because in September 1878 Edison said he would invent a safe, mild and cheap electric light which would supersede gaslight in millions of dwellings.
