Description

Uncommon cabinet card of the wireless pioneer

Superb 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Marconi by Elliott & Fry of London, prominently signed in bold black ink, "Guglielmo Marconi, 9 Marzo 1907." In fine condition, with a small mounting remnant to reverse. Marconi's first transatlantic wireless telegraphy stations, built in Clifden, Ireland and Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, opened for public service only months later in October 1907.
