wireless telegraphy in hyde park

Old Punch comic from 1906, depicting a man and a woman sitting on chairs in a park and facing away from each other. Each has a box on his/her lap that is spitting out a stream of telegraph paper tape, which they read intently: "DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY IN HYDE PARK: These two figures are not communicating with one another. The lady is receiving an amatory message, and the gentleman some racing results."
