EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Thomas A. Edison's revolutionary invention, the electro-motograph, in operation in his laboratory in 1879. The intricate machine was constructed upon a groundbreaking principle that allowed for automatic signals to be repeated from one circuit into another at an astonishing rate of one thousand two hundred words per minute. With this remarkable device, an average of six thousand letters or twenty-four thousand waves could be transmitted every minute.
In the image, we see the lever of the electro-motograph moving rapidly from left to right four hundred times per second, showcasing the incredible speed and precision of Edison's creation. This innovative technology paved the way for advancements in communication and telegraphy during the late nineteenth century.
Thomas A. Edison, known for his prolific inventions and contributions to science and technology, demonstrated once again his ingenuity with the development of the electro-motograph. This engraving serves as a testament to his legacy as a pioneering inventor who continually pushed boundaries and revolutionized industries with his groundbreaking creations.
The detailed depiction of this historic moment captured in this print offers a glimpse into Edison's world-changing work and showcases the intersection of artistry and innovation in scientific discovery.
