This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling world of telecommunications. The scene depicts a visit to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company's Works in East Greenwich, London. Every detail is meticulously captured, showcasing the intricate process involved in wiring and finishing cables. The image showcases workers diligently engaged in their tasks – from picking up cables to carefully wrapping them with tape. The machinery hums with activity as it aids in the production process. In the background, we can spot SS Scotia docked at shore end, ready for its important role in transporting these vital communication lifelines.
