Subject
The Lorraine Coal Company for Electricity, established around 1887, operated the Fabius Henrion factory in Pagny-sur-Moselle. It manufactured dynamos, electric coals, and lamps, marketed under the Osmine and Faust brands. The company later became Carbone Lorraine, and today is known as Mersen.

Description:
A smiling red devil watches us from the center of an ellipse of electric bulbs. It shows that they are dazzling. The black background recalls the black of graphite that makes up their filament.
