Dimensions: Sheet: 7 3/16 × 10 1/2 in. (18.2 × 26.6 cm). Date: 1865.One of the 19th century's great technological achievements was to lay a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic, allowing messages to speed back and forth between North America and Europe in minutes, rather than ten or twelve days by steamer.
