EDITORS COMMENTS
Professor Arthur Korn, a pioneering figure in the history of telecommunications and photography, is depicted in this image with his groundbreaking tele-photographic apparatus. Born in 1868, Korn made history in 1907 when he successfully transmitted the first facsimile photograph over telephone wires. This remarkable achievement came just one year after he had announced his method for importing photographs through the telegraph at the International Electricity Congress in Paris in 1906. The tele-photographic apparatus, which Korn developed and perfected, was a complex machine that combined the principles of photography and telegraphy. It consisted of a camera that captured an image, which was then converted into electrical signals and transmitted through telephone lines. At the receiving end, the signals were decoded and used to recreate the original image on a light-sensitive paper. This photograph captures Korn in the midst of his work, surrounded by the intricate machinery of his invention. His intense focus and determined expression speak to the passion and dedication that drove him to push the boundaries of technology and science. The importance of Korn's work can be seen not only in the historical significance of the first facsimile photograph but also in the foundations it laid for the development of modern telecommunications and digital imaging. This image is a rare and valuable document of a pivotal moment in the history of technology and science, and a testament to the ingenuity and vision of Professor Arthur Korn.
