(Preface) 'Ten years after its invention by Thomas Edison, electric lighting became a great feature and excitement at the 1889 opening of The Savoy in London's West End. The brand new hotel was conceived by Richard D'Oyly Carte, the Gilbert & Sullivan impresario, as a companion to his adjoining theatre. Not only did this man of the stage understand lighting, he wanted everything in his hotel to be the latest and the best of its kind in the world. Through the years, The Savoy has understood and preserved its role as an electric pioneer, with lighting that remains emblematic of exquisite luxury and style.'
