John Logie Baird, caricature
John Logie Baird (1888-1946). Caricature of the British electrical engineer, inventor and television pioneer John Logie Baird, sitting in an armchair and holding a TV remote control. Following much experimentation, Baird developed a crude TV apparatus in 1922, able to transmit a picture and receive it over a range of a few feet. By 1929 Baird was involved with early TV transmissions by the BBC. Bairds system was later displaced by the Marconi-EMI electronic scanning system. Baird also pioneered colour, stereoscopic, and big screen TV, as well as ultra-short wave transmission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature of the brilliant British electrical engineer and television pioneer, John Logie Baird. In this comical illustration, Baird is depicted sitting comfortably in an armchair, holding a TV remote control with a mischievous grin on his face. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to the world of television, Baird's journey began in 1922 when he successfully developed an early TV apparatus capable of transmitting and receiving pictures over short distances. By 1929, Baird was actively involved in early TV transmissions by the BBC, marking a significant milestone in broadcasting history. Although his system was eventually replaced by the Marconi-EMI electronic scanning system, Baird continued to push boundaries by pioneering color television, stereoscopic technology, big screen TVs, and ultra-short wave transmission. This black and white portrait captures not only the essence of John Logie Baird but also represents an era of technological innovation that forever changed how we perceive entertainment. With its historical significance and engineering prowess showcased through this artistic representation on a white background, this print serves as a reminder of one man's relentless pursuit to revolutionize communication through television.
