EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling Telephoto room at the Daily Mirror Fetters Lane offices in central London. It is 1959, a time when technology was rapidly advancing, and communication was on the cusp of a revolution. The focal point of the image is Technician Bernard Coster, who stands tall amidst a sea of machinery and wires. With an air of expertise, he oversees the transmission of an image through one of the first telephoto machines used in British media. This groundbreaking invention allowed photographs to be received and transmitted over the public telephone network in as little as 8 minutes – an impressive feat for its time. Coster's collaboration with Guy Bartholomew led to significant advancements in picture telegraphy within the British media industry. Their ingenuity paved the way for faster dissemination of news and imagery across newspapers nationwide. It is worth noting that The Daily Mirror holds historical significance as it became Britain's first newspaper to embrace picture telegraphy back in 1907.
