Very Rare TELEVISION Magazine Vol 1 No 1 March 1928 World's First TV Journal

  

Television magazine, Volume 1, Number 1, March 1928. The very rare, very first issue of a magazine that was launched as "The Official Organ of the Television Society", published by Television Press Limited, London, March 1928. This is more than a decade before television became widely available for the average household. Instead, this journal is aimed at techies and trades people, talking about technology at the height of the Radio Age, looking ahead to the oncoming revolution of the Invisible Ray.

Published in the UK and edited by Alfred Dinsdale. The magazine, according to the Science Museum in London, gave guidance on building home-made televisions using technology pioneered by John Logie Baird. Commercially produced televisions were not available until later and the first issue of the magazine considered the future possibility of mass commercially produced sets. Magazine is in excellent condition at nearly 100 years old.

Aside from slight curling and chips at the edges, the cover is clean and smooth and all pages are clean and attached, save for one advertising insert page which was never attached to begin with. The condition is museum quality for a historically relevant magazine that can be found in several museums already.
