EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph takes us back to the year 1870, a time when communication was revolutionized by the advent of submarine telegraph cables. The print showcases an extraordinary moment in history - the landing of the shore end of the Bombay cable at Aden. In this vibrant colored lithograph, we witness a team of determined individuals working tirelessly to connect continents and bridge vast oceans through electric currents. The scene is bustling with activity as men maneuver heavy machinery and carefully handle intricate cables that will soon transmit messages across great distances. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it marked a turning point in global communications, bringing India closer to London in mere moments. This remarkable achievement was made possible by pioneers like JC Parkinson, whose dedication and vision paved the way for instant connectivity between nations. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of overland communication. Today's world is seamlessly connected thanks to advancements in technology that were born out of these humble beginnings. Let this lithograph serve as a reminder not only of our progress but also as a tribute to those who dared to dream big and push boundaries for the sake of human connection.
