EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the remarkable moment when John Logie Baird, a Scottish electrical engineer and pioneer of television, watches the first play to be televised on 14 July 1930. The year is 1935, and Mr. Baird's groundbreaking achievements in imaging systems have revolutionized the world of entertainment. With his early experiments dating back to the 1920s, Baird successfully transmitted outline images over wires by 1924 and recognizable human faces by 1925. His passion for innovation led him to establish the world's first television station in 1926, aptly named "2TV". This photograph captures his unwavering dedication and excitement as he witnesses Luigi Pirandello's renowned play, "The Man with the Flower in his Mouth" being broadcasted for all to see.
