Telegraph gang, near Yedo [Tokyo]. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Industrial Photography
Showing a gang at work erecting a telegraph pole beside a railway line, under the supervision of European foremen: 'The telegraph is fast extending throughout the realm. Already the wires are complete between Kobe and Yedo — and but for the typhoon of the 25th August which blew down some of the poles that anyone could see had been badly put up communications could be kept up throughout. To Nagasaki the overland portion of the line is nearly complete; but the cable to connect the two shores of the Inland Sea is not yet laid. If nothing untoward occurs it will be accomplished this month, and then there will be a telegraphic connection between this and London, and in fact with all the world...'
