[edit]DescriptionTelephonoscope.jpg |
English: Early television/videophone concept, a forecast (almanac) for 1879, posted in the December 9th, 1878 issue of Punch. Illustration descriptionPunch Magazine cartoon print: Edison's Telephonoscope (transmits light as well as sound). (Every evening, before going to bed, Pater- and Materfamilias set up an electric camera-obscura over their bedroom mantel-piece, and gladden their eyes with the sight of their children at the Antipodes, and converse gaily with them through the wire.).
George du Maurier's cartoon of 'an electric camera-obscura' is often cited as an early prediction of television and also anticipated the videophone, in wide screen formats and flat screens. The screen is approximately 2 metres wide and appears to have an aspect ratio of 2.7:1, the same as Ultra Panavision. Artist: George Du Maurier, Published: Almanack for 1879 |
