Item # 716567 ·

NEW YORK SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Jan. 1, 1878

  • Alexander Graham Bell's telephone

Page 14 has an article: "Telephone Experiments" which begins: "At a lecture delivered in this city, Professor Bell quaintly remarked respecting his telephone...".
Sixteen pages, 12 by 17 1/2 inches, minor type loss to a small portion of the front page, good condition.

Background: The January 1, 1878 edition of the New York Semi-Weekly Tribune is historically notable for its 14th-page article, "Telephone Experiments," which captures a firsthand contemporary account of Alexander Graham Bell’s early public lectures and demonstrations regarding his revolutionary 1876 invention. Beginning with Bell’s quaint observations on human speech transmission, the piece offers valuable insight into public perception and technical curiosity at the dawn of the telecommunications era, published just months before commercial telephone exchanges began rapidly transforming global communication.
