Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Bells first long-distance telephone call
First long-distance telephone call. Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922, centre) performing the first long-distance telephone call in 1876. The conversation took place between Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and the town of Salem, some 22 kilometres away. Bell was a speech therapist who worked with the deaf. His experiments on the transmission of sound led to his designs for the multiple telegraph and the telephone. Bell won a lengthy legal battle with Elisha Gray, who filed a similar telephone patent on the same day. After this he became a rich man, and founded the company that became AT&T.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - Alexander Graham Bell's first long-distance telephone call. In 1876, this remarkable inventor and speech therapist revolutionized communication by successfully transmitting sound over a distance of 22 kilometers. The conversation took place between Boston, Massachusetts, and the town of Salem, marking a significant milestone in telecommunications. At the center of the photograph stands Alexander Graham Bell himself, an influential figure whose experiments on sound transmission paved the way for his groundbreaking designs for both the multiple telegraph and telephone. His dedication to working with the deaf community further fueled his passion for developing innovative communication technologies. The illustration taken from La Telegraphie Historique (1888) by Alexis Belloc showcases Bell's determination and ingenuity as he demonstrates his invention. This historic event not only propelled him into a lengthy legal battle with Elisha Gray but also led to his founding of what would become AT&T - an enduring legacy that continues to shape our modern world. As we gaze upon this artwork capturing Bell operating his creation, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of telecommunication. It serves as a testament to human progress and reminds us that every great achievement begins with one bold idea.
