EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the world was introduced to a groundbreaking invention - television. The advert for this new radio sensation is displayed prominently at The London Coliseum, located in the bustling area of Charing Cross. Intriguingly, the photo showcases an ensemble cast of performers who were part of the Baird British invention's public display. Among them are Beryl Beresfordl, Allison Troupe, Robb Wilton, Mamie Lawn, Helen Yorke, Dorrie Dene, M Santiago, Eddie Bowers, Virginia Johnson, and Arthur Lewis. They stand proudly beside the advertisement board that heralds this revolutionary technology. The image exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as people gather around to witness this marvel firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days when television was just starting to make its mark on society. Photographed by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century and now held in a private collection, this print allows us to glimpse into a time when television was still considered a novelty. With its grainy texture and vintage aesthetic, it transports us back to an era where imagination met innovation. As we admire this historical photograph today with modern eyes accustomed to high-definition screens and streaming services galore; let us appreciate the pioneers who paved the way for our current media landscape while acknowledging how much progress has been made since then.
