EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when modern technology was revolutionizing the way we communicate and conduct business. Taken at The Savoy Hotel in London in 1911, the image shows a scene of remote booking and ordering rooms by wireless telegraphy.
In an era before smartphones and internet, this cutting-edge method allowed guests to make reservations and request services from afar, using the latest wireless communication technology. The Savoy Hotel was at the forefront of innovation, embracing new inventions to enhance their guest experience.
The sight of hotel staff busy at work with telegraph machines is a reminder of how far we have come in terms of communication technology. In today's world where everything is just a click away, it's fascinating to see how people once relied on more traditional methods to connect with each other.
The backdrop of boats sailing on the water adds another layer of intrigue to this historical snapshot. It serves as a reminder that even as technology advanced rapidly on land, life on the sea continued much as it had for centuries.
Overall, this print is not just a visual treat but also a window into a time when innovation was transforming every aspect of society – including something as seemingly simple as booking a hotel room. Terry Parker has truly captured an important moment in technological history with this remarkable image from Mary Evans Prints Online.
