Commentary
Le gaz naturel était connu depuis l'Antiquité notamment en Perse mais ce n'est qu'à la fin du XVIIIe siècle que l'idée d'un éclairage au gaz apparut. Le procédé ne se répandit que dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle notamment à partir de 1820. Le gaz utilisé était obtenu par distillation de la houille et servait à éclairer les rues puis les logements. Il servit par la suite comme chauffage mais disparut pour l'éclairage en raison de la diffusion de l'éclairage électrique dès 1880. La Société Anonyme d'Éclairage par le Gaz hydrogène pour la Ville de Lyon qui deviendra la Compagnie du Gaz de Lyon.
