Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Very good. Mounted on linen. Size 18 x 39 Inches. This is a 1920 Waterlow map of the world illustrating the global telegraph network. Red overprinting highlights the lines of the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies. Connecting London with the world, the network 'jumps' from port to port, with a few overland connections in British India and Australia. Insets Three insets along the bottom border detail three key locations. The central inset focuses on the British Isles and Western Europe and red text labels with which city each outgoing telegraph cable connects. The left inset details Greece and the Aegean Sea, where the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies (and the companies they merged with) laid a lot of cable. A smaller inset highlights Cyprus and its telegraph cables. The inset on the right illustrates Indonesia, the Malacca Strait, and Singapore, the hub of the British East India trade. The Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies In 1902, the Eastern Telegraph Company and The Eastern Extension, Australasia, and China Telegraph Company (and ten smaller companies - one of which could trace its origins back to 1857) merged to form the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies (1902 - 1929). One of its preceding companies (the Eastern Telegraph Company) operated 160,000 nautical miles of cable at its height, which converts to approximately 184,000 miles, or 7.4 times around the Earth! The company ceased to exist in 1929 when it merged with six other broadcast and cable companies to form Imperial and International Communications Ltd. Publication History and Census This map was created by Waterlow and Sons and published for the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies in 1920.
