Short Wave And Television: Televised Horse Racing By Hugo Gernsback – Posters and prints on paper or canvas by standard digital or deluxe giclee printing.
Short Wave and Television, a magazine that intersected technology, radio, and visual innovation during the late 1930s. Originally known as Short Wave Craft, this specialty title catered to amateur radio enthusiasts and home experimenters eager to build, understand, and experiment with new technologies. Its pages buzzed with the DIY ethic, providing resources for those who wanted to tinker, explore, and push the boundaries. Hugo Gernsback, a pioneering figure in both science fiction and radio electronics, played a crucial role in the magazine, whose focus spanned two critical domains: Shortwave Radio and Television. As shortwave radio gained prominence, enthusiasts sought information on antennas, receivers, and propagation. Short Wave and Television became a beacon for these curious minds, offering insights into the intricacies of shortwave communication. Articles covered everything from home-built receivers to exotic DX (long-distance) listening. Meanwhile, television was the new frontier, and the magazine eagerly embraced it. The cover paintings often depicted radios in motion-whether used in cars, trains, boats, or even on horseback. One daring cover featured a sports announcer broadcasting from a speeding iceboat-an audacious blend of adventure and technology. Short Wave and Television thrived for nearly three years, gaining prestige and influence. It stood as the sole public periodical entirely devoted to shortwave radio, bridging the gap between enthusiasts and the cutting-edge world of television. Alas, its journey was cut short by the heavy clouds of war-September 1939 marked its final issue due to the onset of World War II. In retrospect, this magazine remains a testament to the passion of radio hobbyists, the allure of emerging technologies, and the spirit of exploration. Gernsback, as the publisher, ensured that the magazine provided valuable resources for those interested in building, experimenting, and understanding new technologies related to shortwave radio and television. His contributions to the genre and his impact on the field of electronics were significant, making him a central figure in the early days of science fiction and radio communication.
