18th century illustration of footlight candles being snuffed

A footlight is: a theatrical lighting device arranged——to illuminate a stage from the——front edge of the "stage floor in front of the curtain." Originally set in a row of hooded individual enclosures, electric footlights are presently set in troughs across the edge of the stage so that they are not visible——to the audience. An indirect footlight uses a light aimed at a reflecting surface to diffuse the illumination.
