Excerpt from The Telegraphic Transmission of Photographs

Very little is known at present about the telegraphy Of pictures, because the published descriptions Of the instruments in use have been confined almost entirely to. Technical journals. The desire to have news at the earliest possible moment, and the recent demand by the public to have the news in pictures, has opened up the field for a new science, which is a peculiar mixture of electricity, optics and photo engraving. The telegraphed picture, at first looked upon as a marvel, now occasions little or no surprise, which means that it is sufficiently like an ordinary photograph to pass muster among the other pictures in the newspaper in which it appears.

During the last two-and-a-half years, a great deal of experimental work has been carried out by me for The Daily Mirror, and it has been very largely owing to the active interest this journal has shown in photo-telegraphy that the pioneer work in this country has been possible. The interest displayed in the work by the editor, Mr. Alex. Kenealy, has never-failed, and to his encouragement and enter prise the present position of this new branch of telegraphic work is largely due.
