A riveting exploration of the relationship between art and telegraphy, and its implications for understanding time and history in nineteenth-century France.
In Time Machines Richard Taws examines the relationship between art and telegraphy in the decades following the French RevolutionThe optical telegraph was a novel form of visual communication developed in the 1790s that remained in use until the mid-1850s. This pre-electric telegraph, based on a semaphore code, irrevocably changed the media landscape of nineteenth-century France. Although now largely forgotten, in its day it covered vast distances and changed the way people thought about time.
It also shaped, and was shaped by, a proliferating world of images. What happens, Taws asks, if we think about art telegraphically?
Placed on prominent buildings across Francefor several years there was one on top of the Louvrethe telegraphs waving limbs were a ubiquitous sight, shifting how public space was experienced and representedThe system was depicted by a wide range of artists, who were variously amused, appalled, irritated, or seduced by the telegraphs intractable coded messages and the uncanny environmental and perceptual disruption it caused. Clouds, architecture, landscapes, and gestures: all signified differently in the era of telegraphy, and the telegraph became a powerful means to comprehend Frances technological and political past.
While Pariss famous arcades began to crisscross the city at ground level, a more enigmatic network was operating above. Shifting attention from the streets to the skies, this book shows how modern France took shape quite literally under the telegraphs sign.
