EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Laying the Submarine Telegraph between Malta and Gibraltar, off the Isle of Pantellaria" takes us back to a significant moment in maritime history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the remarkable feat of connecting two important European locations through underwater telegraph cables. The scene depicts a bustling maritime operation with ships dotting the vast sea as they meticulously lay down the submarine telegraph. The isle of Pantellaria serves as a picturesque backdrop, adding a touch of serenity to this industrious endeavor. This illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 11,1870, capturing public interest and awe at this technological advancement. The laying of this submarine telegraph marked a pivotal moment in communications history. It brought Europe closer together by enabling near-instantaneous transmission of messages between Malta and Gibraltar. This achievement not only revolutionized communication within these regions but also strengthened connections across Europe. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate how far technology has come since then. From humble beginnings like these underwater cables to today's interconnected world powered by satellites and fiber optics, it is fascinating to witness our progress in bridging distances and fostering global communication networks.
