EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Telephone call warning of burglars" captures a moment of suspense and urgency in the early 20th century. The image, created by the American School, showcases a scene where a man and woman are huddled together near their home phones, clearly alarmed by an impending danger. The dark backdrop adds to the atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The postcard-style print is signed by C A Macmillan, adding an intriguing personal touch to this historical piece. It serves as a reminder of how communication technology has evolved over time, with telephones playing a crucial role in alerting individuals about potential crimes. In this snapshot from the past, we witness the power of telecommunications in protecting homes and communities from criminals. The Bell Telephone Company's influence is evident here as they provided reliable means for people to warn each other during break-ins or robberies. This artwork not only highlights the purposeful use of modern technology but also sheds light on domestic security concerns prevalent at that time. It serves as a testament to Americans' resilience and determination to safeguard their homes against any threat. As we admire this vintage postcard, it reminds us that even though times have changed drastically since then, our need for effective communication systems remains constant throughout history.
