Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Folio. 1 page. 17 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches. Very scarce large vintage broadside printed in blue on cream-colored paper, with the Royal coat of arms "Dieu et mon Droit", dated December, 1880.

The judgement laid down that a telephone was a telegraph, and that a telephone conversation was a telegram, within the meaning of Section 4 of the Telegraph Act, 1869.

The General Post Office then started licensing all existing telephone networks to operate from the Postmaster-General. As a result the Postmaster General was to continue providing the telephone service under the provisions of various telegraph acts until the Telephone Act of 1951. This Act was the first statutory recognition of the telephone separate from the telegraph, 75 years after the telephone was invented. Very early U.K. telephone history. …
