In 1877 an unknown ironic caricaturist prizes the invention of telephony by the harmony of the spheres, representing the planets as musicians playing various instruments that are connected by cables and poles with the earth and its three continents. In a coherent system, the drawing combines manifold ideas of ancient and contemporary astronomy and technique up to the music of Richard Wagner, which was perceived at that time as epoch-making as telephony.
