Yes! Absolutely the iconographical evidence cannot be ignored, considering the vast number of daguerrotypes and other photographic images dating from the dawn of the lightbulb, giving us a clear picture of what the world looked like in those days. We know that the world of the early lightbulb was visually a world of monochrome. This is undoubtedly due to the quality of light emitted by historical lightbulbs. It's difficult, in the world of our own modern lightbulbs, to be able to imagine the world of the early bulb. But to "think sepia," and not full-color, is the clear message we get from studying the iconography surrounding HIP lightbulb-changing.
