ResumoThe use of fluorescent objects in decoration is so old that a tradition attributes it to a mediaeval Chinese artist, but the method could not become popular until sources of ultra-violet light better than sunlight became available and reasonably efficient. Window displays and stage effects with fluorescent objects have been increasingly common in the last two years, and this year Piccadilly Circus has offered a good example. In the Cirque Medrano in Paris a display by Liberty horses wearing white rope harness bearing a fluorescent pigment was a striking item this season; the ringmaster guided them, using a fluorescent whip and gloves, but was otherwise almost invisible.
