1900 illustration of Professor Morse sending the first long-distance message – "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT" – on 24 May 1844. Seated at the center of the composition is Professor Samuel F.B. Morse himself, operating the telegraph key. On the desk before Morse is the telegraph equipment—a wooden box-like device that houses the telegraph key and receiving mechanism. Standing close beside Morse, leaning in to observe the process, is a young woman in a light-colored dress typical of 1840s fashion. Surrounding the central figures is a group of distinguished gentlemen. https://archive.org/details/storyofnineteent01broo/page/n5/mode/1up 61e091d74539657c.jpg Master of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pisan.
