EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating and humorous cartoon illustration from the annals of communication history, this print titled "A Stormy Night at the Listening In" depicts a dramatic equinoctial gale in full swing. The cartoon, created in 1923, showcases a determined group of radio enthusiasts huddled around their wireless sets, undeterred by the raging storm outside. Amidst the chaos of the stormy night, a building in peril is saved by the very technology that brought them together. The cartoon, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, captures the essence of the early days of wireless communication. The equinoctial gale, a severe storm that occurs around the equinoxes, is depicted in all its fury, with torrential rain, thunder, and lightning. Yet, the intrepid radio enthusiasts remain undaunted, their focus unwavering as they listen to the wireless broadcasts. The building in the foreground, on the brink of collapse, is saved by the wireless aerial. The aerial, extending majestically into the stormy night, is shown as a beacon of hope, a symbol of the power of wireless communication. The cartoon is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative impact of technology on our lives. This charming and historically significant cartoon is a must-have for anyone with an interest in communication history, weather phenomena, or simply a love for a good laugh. The intricate details and the witty humor make it a delight to behold, transporting us back to a time when the wireless was a source of wonder and excitement.
