In late seventeenth century Paris, the first public lanterns, 'réverbères' made their appearance in the centre of the streets. They were oil lamps which lit the roads at night - covered with reflectors, hung above the centre of the streets. Their use soon spread to Milan, where the oil lanterns were covered by a semi-spherical reflector above the flame, which projected the light downwards, while another reflector, slightly concave and near the flame, served to direct the light latterly. This process worked reasonably well, however the introduction of 'gas light' was the innovation which necessitated shades, as opposed to reflectors. The flame, fed by gas, was intense, uniform and adjustable, white and brilliant instead of the reddish or orange of oil lamps or candles.
