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.""

First publication of the first French translation of Bell's ""On the Production and Reproduction of Sound by Light: the Photophone"", originally published in 1880. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light, and Bell himself regarded this, not the telephone, to be his most important invention.""In the importance of the principles involved, I regard the photophone as the greatest invention I have ever made"" greater than the telephone."" Bell said in a 1921 interview. The photophone was the world's first wireless telephone communication and thereby anticipated Marconi's invention with several years.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."" (Prescott, George. Bell's Electric Speaking Telephone. 313 p.).Bell was so excited by his invention and its possibilities that he proposed that his second daughter should bear the name of the invention: Photophone. Fortunately for her, her mother was not quite as enthusiastic about the invention.

Édition originale de la traduction française ornée d'une carte dépliante dans le premier volume (cf Cordier, Sinica, 2094. Quérard I, 260. Manque à Schwab et à Atabey. Blackmer (111) ne possédait que l'édition anglaise (Travels from St. Petersburg in Russia, to diverse parts of Asia, Glasgow, 1763). Reliures en plein veau fauve marbré, dos à cinq ornés de doubles caissons dorés et décorés, pièces de titre de maroquin brun ou vert (pour le deuxième volume), pièces de tomaison de maroquin rouge, roulettes dorées sur les coiffes, gardes et contreplats de papier à la cuve, filets dorés sur les coupes, tranches marbrées, certains coins émoussés reliures de l'époque.* Petits trous sur le premier plat du premier volume, quelques frottements sans gravité sur les plats. * Le médecin écossais John Bell (1691-1780) se rend à Saint-Pétersbourg en Russie, où un compatriote écossais parvient à le faire nommer médecin d'Artemy Volynsky, homme d'État récemment nommé ambassadeur pour la Perse. Les pp. 125 à 362 du tome II contiennent le "Journal de la résidence de M. Lange, Agent de Sa Majesté Impériale de toutes les Russies, Pierre I, à la Cour de Pékin, en 1721 & 1722. Contenant ses négociations". Les pp. 263 à 332 du tome III contiennent la "Relation de mon Voyage de Pétersbourg à Constantinople, & de-là à Pétersbourg, dans les années 1737 & 1738". La belle carte dépliante donne la Route entre Moscow et Pekin tenue par S.E. Leoff Vassilich Ismayloff en 1719, 1720 et 1721. "Bell spent about 25 years in Russia, in the diplomatic service of the Czar, from 1714. He then settled in Constantinople for a few years as a merchant, returning to Scotland c. 1746. He made several journeys to the Levant for diplomatic reasons including two to Persia in 1715-18 and 1722, and a journey to Constantinople in 1737-8. He was in touch with Sir Everard Fawkener, Peysonnel and other figures of diplomatic importance in Turkey" [Leonora Navari]. - Photographies et détails sur www.Edition-Originale.com -
