This album takes a musical look at the question \"what did the Victorians do for us?\" The eight songs consider a selection of inventions and new developments, and the changes these brought about in the day-to-day lives of ordinary people. There are songs about the affordable daily newspaper; the postage stamp; the bicycle; the department store; portrait photography; the demise of the tea clippers due to the advent of steamships; the industrialization of farming; and indoor domestic lighting. The album - the fourth from the Looking-Glass Lantern solo project - comes with a beautifully produced twenty-page booklet, the front cover of which symbolizes a world overrun with machinery. Dr Graham Dunnington holds a PhD in the history of the piano and music business in the Victorian era. Combined with a longstanding love of progressive rock, the outcome is the Looking-Glass Lantern project. Since it's inception, Looking-Glass Lantern has been steadily growing in popularity, with over 45,000 plays on internet radio and more than 3,000 followers on Twitter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The World Came Into the Home (6:02) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 The Letter (4:14) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 A New Freedom (4:49) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Inside a World of Wonder (10:42) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 A Moment Captured (6:02) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Great Tea Race of 1866 (16:48) \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Old Ways and the New Ways (6:42) \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Meaning of the Light (5:44)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Looking-Glass Lantern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32721369202759,"sku":"41103562","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3879664-2633017_beb2330e-35d2-4617-bc0b-053849234b94.jpg?v=1711726839","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/looking-glass-lantern-world-of-great-invention","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
