EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Roman signal towers, known as aerial telegraphs, dating back to c1900. The image depicts a picturesque countryside setting with a towering structure in the background. A basket containing fire hangs from an arm near the top of the tower, symbolizing an innovative method used by Romans to communicate messages across vast distances. In this chromolithograph trade card for Liebig Meat Extract, we witness the ingenuity and technological advancements of ancient Rome. The concept behind these signal towers was simple yet effective: when a message needed to be transmitted, fire would be lit in the basket and raised high into the sky. This fiery beacon served as a visual signal that could be seen by other towers within its chain. The photograph captures various elements that bring life to this historical scene - soldiers on horseback riding through nearby streets, men standing around engaged in conversation or walking along country lanes. It is evident that communication played a vital role during this time period as people traveled and carried out their daily tasks. This remarkable image not only transports us back to ancient Rome but also highlights how innovation has always been at the core of human progress. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and determination to overcome obstacles using available technology. As we admire this piece of history captured on paper, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance in shaping our modern world.
