A textually pristine and crisp copy of the first work ever published on the science of broadcasting images, including important early illustrations.
Dinsdale, Alfred. Television. Seeing by Wireless. London. Isaac Pitman. 1926. 62pp.
A very finely preserved example of the true first edition of the first book ever published on the science behind television. The work describes in detail the technical problems faced by early experimenters (Jan van Szczpanik, Boris Losing, Denoys von Mihaly, and others) and focuses primarily on the work of the Scottish engineer, John Logie Baird, the first person to produce televised pictures of objects in motion. Portrait frontispiece of John Logie Baird, plus 10 plates (one plate with shaved title as usual.)
A pristine example with the dustjacket will fetch $2,500 - $5,000. This example very nice save some minor handling on stiff boards. No dustjacket, and thus the more affordable price point.
