EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Night Scene Cable Entangled Nearly Broken July 18th" by Robert Charles Dudley showcases a pivotal moment in history. Created in 1865-66, this artwork beautifully combines watercolor, graphite, touches of gouache on a sheet measuring 8 x 10 1/4 inches (203 x 26 cm). Dudley's drawing depicts the great technological achievements of the 19th century: the laying of a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic Ocean. This groundbreaking feat allowed messages to be transmitted at incredible speed between North America and Europe. Gone were the days of waiting ten to twelve days for news from across the ocean; now it could be delivered within minutes. The night scene portrayed here adds an air of mystery and drama to this historical event. The entangled and nearly broken cable symbolizes both the challenges faced during its installation and the fragility of these early communication systems. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of progress and our ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Dudley's meticulous attention to detail transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also the significance of this monumental achievement. This Liszt Collection print serves as a powerful reminder that every step forward in technology is built upon countless hours of hard work, dedication, and innovation. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for connection across vast distances – both physical and metaphorical
