Previously, I had posted pictures of the history of the light bulb, but nothing compares to what you see above. As you can probably tell, the cap on the left is a dummy. Its purpose is purely as a means to further the optical illusion you see on the right side of the picture.
One of the other amusing aspects of this light bulb is installation as one tries to figure out which end goes into the socket. I can picture the hours of frustration as some poor sap tries to figure why — just why — his newly bought light bulb won't turn on.
Finally, if I was ever to curate a surrealist exhibit, I would use lighting from this light bulb. You'll probably agree it is perfect for such a project.
