Shedding light on New York: Edward F. Caldwell & Co.

Edward F. Caldwell & Co., of New York City, was the premier designer and manufacturer of electric light fixtures and decorative metalwork from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. After a piece was produced, it was often photographed and added to the company’s massive photo archive. Today, these photographs, numbering more than 37,000 along with more than 13,000 presentation drawings, comprise the Edward F. Caldwell & Company collection at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Library.
