Kleber, Henry. (1816–1897). "The Atlantic Telegraph Schottisch" - Sheet Music Title Page. New York: Firth, Pond & Co.. 1857. 2nd Edition.

Illustrated title page from the piano piece "The Atlantic Telegraph Schottisch," composed by Henry Kleber ca. 1865 to commemorate the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. The illustration shows ships in the midst of the endeavor, below a telegraph machine and united British and American flags. Some toning, soiling, and wear; overall very good. 10.5 x 14.25 inches (27 x 36 cm), framed to 13 x 16.5 inches (33 x 42 cm). 


The Atlantic Telegraph Company was a company formed on 6 November 1856 to undertake and exploit a commercial telegraph cable across the Atlantic ocean, the first such telecommunications link. The project stemmed from an agreement between the American Cyrus Field and the Englishmen John Watkins Brett and Charles Tilston Bright, and was incorporated in December 1856 with £350,000 capital, raised principally in London, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow. The Atlantic Telegraph Company operated the only two trans-Atlantic cables without competition until 1869, when a French cable was laid. 

Henry Kleber, the author of several "schottisches" or Scotch dance pieces, was a teacher of Stephen Foster. He was also a music publisher, the founder of H. Kleber & Co. in Pittsburgh.

From the collection of Kenneth Eugene Silverman, American biographer and educator, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a Bancroft Prize for his 1984 biography of Cotton Mather, The Life and Times of Cotton Mather. Silverman, who specialized In Colonial American literature, was a professor of English at New York University until his retirement in 2001.
