EDITORS COMMENTS
The Terrors of the Telephone: A Humorous Glimpse into the Evolution of Communication". This black and white lithograph, titled "Terrors of the Telephone" takes us back to a time when technological advancements were met with both awe and apprehension. Created by an unknown American artist in the 19th century, this illustration was originally published in The Daily Graphic on March 15th, 1877. The image depicts a man anxiously clutching onto his chair as he receives a telephone call. Wires crisscross around him like a tangled web, symbolizing the complexities brought about by modernization and industrialization. With wide eyes filled with fear, he comically portrays society's mixed feelings towards this new device. Intriguingly symbolic, this cartoon captures not only the fear associated with change but also hints at our fascination with what lies ahead. It serves as a reminder that every advancement comes with its own set of challenges and uncertainties. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from America's past, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of communication technology. From these humble beginnings arose an interconnected world where distances no longer limit our ability to connect. This print is part of the collection held by New-York Historical Society in USA; it offers us a glimpse into an era when telephones were seen as both terrifying and exciting - marking a significant milestone on humanity's journey towards modernity.
