We can often hear our relatives say: “It is going to rain, take an umbrella with you”. Umbrella is a usual thing nowadays, but what do we know about its history?

People began to use umbrella long time ago. In ancient Egypt pharaohs used umbrellas. The first umbrellas were different from what we have today. They were very heavy, that’s why only rich people could afford them. Usually umbrellas were carried by slaves behind rich people of ancient Rome and Greece. Later umbrellas appeared in China. People used them to protect themselves against hot rays of the sun. But umbrellas were not so widely spread until the 18^th century.

Imagine grey rainy autumn day in London, 1750. It was raining hard and there were few people in the streets, but those few were very surprised to see a tall man walking along the street and carrying a strange object over his head. It was a stick with an oiled canvas hemisphere which looked like a mushroom. The name of the man was David Hanway. On and on, taking no care of mocking looks, he appeared in the streets of London with a “mushroom” in his hands, which couldn’t fold.

Only in 1852 another English inventor Fox created an umbrella which we call the grandfather of today’s ones. Light and comfortable, it has become a devoted friend of people all over the world.
