EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1914 with this whimsical and futuristic print of The Pocket Marconigraph by Terry Parker. In a scene that seems straight out of a comic book, we see a man stranded at sea tapping out a message on his innovative device, the Pocket Marconigraph. Little did he know that he was predicting the invention of mobile phones decades before they became an essential part of our daily lives.
The image captures the imagination with its blend of humor and foresight. As the man sends out his distress signal, one can't help but wonder if this fictional scenario could have actually inspired real-life inventors to create the technology we now rely on for communication.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate design of the Pocket Marconigraph itself to the expression on the man's face as he awaits rescue. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of desperation, there is always room for innovation and creativity.
So take a moment to appreciate this charming piece of history and marvel at how far we've come since 1914. Who knows what other predictions may be hidden within these old prints waiting to be discovered?
