This print showcases John Logie Baird, a Scottish electrical engineer and pioneer of television, during the 1920s. In this image, Baird is seen giving an early demonstration of his groundbreaking invention - television. Holding two dolls in his hands, he demonstrates the incredible potential of "Seeing by wireless" as it was known back then. Baird's journey into imaging systems began in the early 1920s when he started experimenting with transmitting outline images over wires. By 1925, he had achieved a significant milestone by successfully transmitting recognizable human faces through his system. The following year marked another remarkable achievement for Baird as he established the world's first television station named 2TV. This photograph not only captures Baird's pioneering spirit but also reflects the concept of innovation and technological advancement that would revolutionize entertainment and media forever. Sitting comfortably on a chair, this Scottish inventor appears focused and determined to bring his vision to life. John Logie Baird played an instrumental role in shaping broadcasting history in Britain during the twentieth century. His contributions to science and invention have left an indelible mark on society. This monochrome portrait serves as a testament to his brilliance and highlights him as one of Scotland's most influential figures.
