‎First French version of ""On the Production and Reproduction of Sound by Light"" (the French version published in November and the English in October 1880) of this importent paper in which Bell describes his and Charles Sumner Tainter's, his assistent, invention of the Photophone or Radiophone, THE PROGENITOR OF MODERN FIBER OPTICS. This invention made possible the world's FIRST WIRELESS TELEPHONE MESSAGE, and the first call was sent from the Franklin Scool to the window of Bell's laboratory, some 213 meter away.Also with Breguet's importent paper on the Selenium used in the technology.""On June 3, 1880, Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first wireless telephone message on his newly invented ""photophone."" Bell believed the photophone was his most important invention. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light. Of the eighteen patents granted in Bell's name alone, and the twelve he shared with his collaborators, four were for the photophone. Bell's photophone worked by projecting voice through an instrument toward a mirror. Vibrations in the voice caused similar vibrations in the mirror. Bell directed sunlight into the mirror, which captured and projected the mirror's vibrations. The vibrations were transformed back into sound at the receiving end of the projection. The photophone functioned similarly to the telephone, except the photophone used light as a means of projecting the information, while the telephone relied on electricity."" (Mary Bellis).The first successful attempts were based upon the properties of selenium: ""The electric resistance of which varies with the degree of illumination to which it is exposed. Hence, given a transmitting instrument, such as a flexible mirror, by which the vibrations of a sound could throw into vibrations a beam of light, a receiver, consisting of sensitive selenium, forming part of an electric circuit with a battery and a telephone, should suffice to translate the varying intensities of light into corresponding varying intensities of electric current, and finally into vibrations of the telephone disk audible once more as sound.""

‎GRAHAM BELL (Mme Alexander). L'art subtil de la lecture sur les lèvres. Paris, Carré, 1896 ; 20 pages. Traduction de Dupont et Legrand. La femme du grand physicien était sourde et muette. Ce remarquable article parut dans The Atlantic Monthly de février 1895. Il fut repris et cité rapidement dans tous les journaux spécialisés du monde. Il parait ici en français dans son intégralité. "L'étude de Mme Graham Bell est... une des plus belles et certainement la plus originale qui ait été écrite sur le sujet" (le traducteur). BONET (Juan Pablo). Réduction des lettres à leurs éléments primitifs et art d'enseigner à parler aux muets. Paris, chez les traducteurs, 1891 ; XXIVpp.-162pp.-1f. (manque le faux-titre). - PREMIERE ÉDITION FRANÇAISE de ce traité paru en Espagne en 1620. Traduction de E. Bassouls et A. Boyer, avec une préface de A. Dubranle. Bonet prodiguait ses soins au frère du connétable de Castille, sourd-muet depuis l'âge de deux ans. Son traité, l'un des premiers publiés sur le sujet, est de la première importance. La première partie traite des lettres de l'alphabet, de leur invention et des positions prises par la bouche pour les articuler. La seconde partie traite des causes du mutisme, explique l'alphabet manuel, la formation des sons et leur enchaînement. La troisième contient des explications sur le dialogue et sur la lecture et deux méthodes : l'une pour l'apprentissage des chiffres, l'autre pour apprendre en huit jours le grec ! ARNOLD (Thomas).

‎Sur l'application du photophone à l'étude des bruits qui ont lieu à la surface solaire. Note présentée par M. Janssen au nom de Alex. Graham Bell.‎

‎First printing of the paper in which Bell speculates how his and Tainter's invention of the Photophone or Radiophone could have a wider use. He pondered the photophone's possible scientific use in the spectral analysis of artificial light sources, stars and sunspots. He later also speculated on its possible future applications, though he did not anticipate either the laser or fiber-optic telecommunications:""Can Imagination picture what the future of this invention is to be!.... We may talk by light to any visible distance without any conduction wire.... In general science, discoveries will be make by the Photophone that are undreamed of just now."" Not long after its invention laboratories within the Bell System continued to improve the photophone in the hope that it could supplement or replace expensive conventional telephone lines. Its earliest non-experimental use came with military communication systems during World War I and II, its key advantage being that its light-based transmissions could not be intercepted by the enemy.‎
