Arthur Perkins (1827-1842)

There is little information available about the life of Arthur Perkins. A letter written to him by his sister has his address as Gas Erleuchtungs Anstalt (Gas Enlightenment Institute), Berlin. The London-based Imperial Continental Gas Association (ICGA) had a concession to build and operate a gas lighting system for the streets of Berlin. and other German cities so it seems likely that at quite a young age Arthur Perkins was working in Berlin.
