A Lady with a Lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land,
   A noble type of good,
   Heroic womanhood.
  - H. W. Longfellow, excerpt from Santa Filomena

Bridge lamps first became popular in the early 1900s.  With their downward directed light they are ideal as reading lamps beside your favorite chair while adding a warm glow to the remainder of the house.
