In 1793, the engineers Claude and Ignace Urbain Chappe presented their invention to the Convention of the French Republic. Due to the success of the experiment, the first public optical telegraph line between Paris and Lille was established in 1793 (Darmstädter, Handbook, pp. 258 and 261). - The frontispiece shows the transmitting station on the Louvre in Paris; the colored copperplate depicts technical details, while the other copperplates show the positions of the wings, their “translation” into the alphabet, and the text of the Convention’s first telegraphic message to Lille. Untrimmed, with occasional foxing and natural paper-related browning. *
