This early work light is made of tin. It is approximately 7 1/8" long and 4" wide at the front. It has a bullseye lens above a PPM (Prensaich Porzellen Manufaktur) lithophane. The lithohane has an image of what appears to be a hotel located in a mountain setting. A crest with what appears to be a coat of arms surmounts the lens. A 2 3/8" candle holder is behind the lithophane. A previous owner used a modern votive candle to light the lithophane, but I believe the original use required a much larger candle to project light through the lens. Behind the candle holder is a shield raised on a post with a finger loop attached to the back side. The shield is in line with the lens and no doubt kept the light out of the carrier's eyes. Above the shield is a hook that may have held a candle snuffer. The candle snuffer is lost to time. Otherwise the piece is in excellent condition. Both the lens and the lithophane are undamaged.
