EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the erection of the Chappes Telegraph on the Eglise de Montmartre, overlooking Paris. Dating back to 1793, this optical telegraph system was created by Claude Chappe and his brother, revolutionizing communication in pre-electric times. The intricate network of towers allowed for messages to be relayed across vast distances using visual signals.
The image showcases the impressive structure perched high above Paris, symbolizing a new era of communication technology. The Chappes Telegraph played a crucial role in transmitting information quickly and efficiently, shaping the way people communicated during that time.
