JENKINS, C. Francis.
Vision by Radio, Radio Photographs, Radio Photograms.
Washington, D.C.: National Capital Press, 1925. FIRST EDITION Privately printed for Jenkins Laboratories, Inc. 2 blank leaves + half title + frontispiece = Portrait of C. Francis Jenkins + TP + 3-139 + [140] = picture of the author in his airplane + 2 blank leaves, Octavo. First Edition. With 36 plates and several line illustrations. A rather self-congratulatory exposition of the experiments performed and the patents secured in the pursuit of television. "Already radio vision is a laboratory demonstration and while it is not yet finished and ready for general public introduction, it soon will be, for it should be borne in mind that animated pictures differ from still pictures only in the speed of presentation, and the sending of 'still' pictures by radio is now an accomplished fact, radio photographs of no mean quality, examples of which appear as illustration in this volume." [see page 13] With some wonderful predictions about the benefits and changes that "radio vision" will bring to the world. Original publisher's dark green, fine-ribbed cloth with an embossed border and gilt embossed title and author on front cover. Spine with gilt title, author, date and two gilt bands top and bottom. A pristine copy. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
