EDITORS COMMENTS
**"The Wireless Iconograph: A Pioneer in Communication"**
In this remarkable photograph print taken between c1910 and c1915, Francesco de Bernocchi sits confidently with his innovative "iconograph", a precursor to the modern fax machine. This early wireless telegraphy device enabled the transmission of messages, sketches, autographs, shorthand notes, and other written signs over short distances.
As one of the pioneers in communication technology during this era, Bernocchi's invention marked an important milestone in bridging physical gaps between people. The "iconograph" was a testament to his ingenuity and passion for innovation. In this portrait, he is seen wearing headphones, intently focused on his work as if lost in thought.
The photograph itself is a stunning example of early press photography by the renowned Bain News Service. With its crisp black-and-white tones, it captures Bernocchi's figure with remarkable clarity, highlighting not only his invention but also his dedication to pushing the boundaries of human communication. This historic image serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for connection and progress.
