Dover-Calais telegraph cable

First cross-Channel telegraph cable. Historical artwork of the composition of the first telegraph cable linking England and France. This was laid in 1851 by the British engineer Jacob Brett. It ran between Dover, England, and Calais, France. Two attempts to lay a telegraph cable under the English Channel, in 1847 and 1850, had both failed. Advances in insulation technology ensured that the third attempt was successful. Gutta- percha rubber was used to insulate the four conducting wires (seen at upper centre). The success of this cable meant that Britain could be connected to the European telegraph system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white artwork captures a pivotal moment in history - the composition of the first telegraph cable linking England and France. In this historical print, we witness the remarkable engineering feat achieved by British engineer Jacob Brett in 1851. The image showcases a section of the Dover-Calais telegraph cable, which ran under the English Channel connecting these two nations. The failed attempts in 1847 and 1850 were overshadowed by advances in insulation technology that made this third attempt successful. At the upper center of the print, we can observe four conducting wires insulated with gutta-percha rubber, a groundbreaking innovation at that time. This breakthrough allowed for reliable communication between Britain and Europe. Beyond its technological significance, this artwork symbolizes an important milestone in global connectivity. With this cable's success, Britain became seamlessly integrated into the European telegraph system, revolutionizing communications forever. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from Science Photo Library, let us reflect on how far we have come since those early days of telegraphy. From humble beginnings to today's interconnected world filled with instant communication possibilities, it is fascinating to see how one small section of wire could pave the way for such monumental progress in human connection and understanding.
