"The Evolution of Communication: From Lithographs to Wireless Fax Machines" In the late 19th century, a lithograph map of the Netherlands was published in 1877, showcasing the intricate details and geography of this beautiful country. Around the same time, another lithograph from 1874 depicted the German federal state of Bavaria, capturing its rich culture and history. Fast forward to modern times, where fax machines have become an integral part of our communication systems. A front view of a contemporary fax-answering machine reminds us how far we've come in transmitting information. But let's not forget about the fascinating advancements that paved the way for these devices. In 1877, lithographs were used again to publish maps depicting Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela - offering glimpses into South America's diverse landscapes. The year 1882 marked an important milestone with the publication of a facsimile Bible manuscript known as Codex Sinaiticus. This remarkable reproduction allowed people worldwide to access biblical texts like never before. Shifting gears towards portraits now - Arthur Korn (1870-1945) is immortalized in a captivating photograph taken by an anonymous artist in 1902. This portrait serves as a reminder that even back then, photography played a crucial role in preserving memories and documenting individuals' lives. Speaking of groundbreaking achievements, on September 25th (year unspecified), wireless photographs were sent from America to England for the first time ever. The Dempsey v. Tunn case showcased just how revolutionary this technology was becoming. Before wireless transmissions took center stage though, various telegraph systems emerged. Amstutz's copying telegraph system from Cleveland made waves in 1896 with its ability to reproduce documents remotely through facsimiles. Alexander Glen also contributed his own version called "facsimile telegraph system" back in 1886. However impressive these inventions may be.
