(World - Thematic) Messages Under The Ocean, Anon., 1939 We probably can't imagine what a world connected by wire meant at the moment. If wars erupted for lack of clear and timely communication, this could be the remedy. If parts of the world were more remote and lagging behind, they could be brought into dialogue with the latest events, at speeds of up to 130 words a minute. This set of illustrations addresses this modern wonder, showing the components and functions behind the apparatus, and at center is a world map showing the lines that began the foundation of a new era. Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 13.5 x 20.5 (inches)
