The invention of the telephone... Alexander Graham Bell...
Item # 678408
October 21, 1876
NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 21, 1876 Page 8 has a report of an invention that would change society forever: the telephone. From this humble beginning the world of communication was born (although the telegraph preceded this), one which dominates our world to this day.
The article, near the top of the page, is headed: "Audible Speech By Telegraph" with subheads: "Prof. A. Graham Bell's Discovery--Successful and Interesting Experiments Between Boston and Cambridgeport".
The text details the conversation between Bell and Thomas Watson, including verbatim text, ending with: "...Conversation was then carried on for about half an hour with the utmost freedom, and the experiment closed." This report takes most of a column and is a significant event in scientific & technological discovery.
Complete in 10 pages, browning at the margins, irregular & loose at the spine with chipping at the margins & various margin tears. Very fragile so it should be handled with care.
