EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the birth of broadcasting. Taken by an English photographer in the 1920s, it showcases a new departure with a great future. The image is part of Harmsworths Business Encyclopedia and Commercial Educator, illustrating the groundbreaking concept that would revolutionize communication. The photograph depicts Chelmsford's high-power transmitting station, known as 2LO, located on Oxford Street in London. This pioneering station was at the forefront of early broadcasting technology, transmitting concerts and news to eager listeners across Great Britain and Europe. In this scene, we see an aerial view of the station surrounded by airplanes symbolizing progress and innovation. The studio setup includes a movable microphone stand, highlighting the flexibility required for this emerging medium. Transportation plays a crucial role in broadcasting's success as it enables widespread access to information. The presence of various modes of transport such as planes signifies how radio waves can travel far distances effortlessly. This print not only documents an important milestone but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of communication technology. It represents the beginning stages of what would eventually become one of humanity's most powerful tools - connecting people from all corners of the globe through soundwaves.
