| Source | user:Macchess@commons.wikimedia personally scanned this in the USA from an original of page 316 of the July 1898 issue of "The Cosmopolitan", which I believe was a US publication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmopolitan_(magazine)), and the article this is in: "With The Waiting Army" by Irving Bacheller (I think Addison Irving Bacheller, american journalist and fiction writer, died 2/24/1950). This is the RHS of the photograph titled" Signalling with the Heliograph |
