EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the installation of the underwater cable from Dover, England to Calais, France on December 25,1851. The engraving, created in 1868 by an anonymous French School artist, beautifully depicts this groundbreaking achievement. In the image, we see a boat surrounded by calm waters as it carefully lays down the cable beneath the sea. This technological marvel was a major milestone in communication between these two nations and marked a new era of connectivity across borders. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as engineers and workers diligently work together to ensure the success of this ambitious project. Their efforts would forever change how information was transmitted between England and France. As we admire this historical artwork captured by photographer Jaime Abecasis, we are reminded of the incredible progress made during the 19th century. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to overcome challenges for greater global connectivity. Let us appreciate not only the technical accomplishment depicted here but also recognize its significance in fostering closer ties between nations. It stands as a reminder that even amidst vast oceans separating us, technology can bridge distances and bring people closer together.
