Click the thumbnail above for a greatly enlarged version of
“The Telegraphs of Europe”
published by the Electric & International Telegraph Company in 1860.
This map was a reprint to a size 26 inches by 41 inches of an earlier
30 inch by 36 inch version which accounts for the presence of
the original, short-lived Atlantic Cable of 1858.
The map was compiled by Francis Young, a professional teacher, and was engraved on steel by Lewis Becker by his patent ‘Omnigraph’ process.
