is a vibrant and evocative visual representation of the communication revolution that took place in the early 20th century. The poster, created by an unknown artist, showcases the significant reduction in telegram fees to Europe, making long-distance communication more accessible and affordable for the general public. The design is dominated by a bold orange, blue, black, and white color palette, which adds a sense of energy and urgency to the image. A map of Europe, with its intricate network of telegraph lines, takes center stage, emphasizing the vast reach of the telecommunications network. The map is surrounded by images of telegraph poles and wires, symbolizing the technological advancements that made this new form of communication possible. The text of the poster, written in clear and bold font, reads "Telegrams to Europe at Half Rates." The words "Service," "Price," and "Cost" are highlighted, underscoring the affordability of the new telegram rates. The Union Jack flag of the United Kingdom is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner, emphasizing the importance of this communication breakthrough for the British Isles. This poster is a testament to the power of communication technology to bring people closer together, regardless of physical distance. It represents a pivotal moment in history when the world became more interconnected, and the cost of staying in touch with loved ones across the continent was significantly reduced.
