Plowing a field in 1920, fourteen-year-old Philo Farnsworth had a brainstorm. He saw in the parallel rows of overturned earth a way to send pictures through the air. Just eight years later, Farnsworth made his idea a reality when he transmitted the world's first television image. Foreword. Afterword. Sources. Full-color illustrations done in acrylic wash with colored pencil and dry brush; print images added digitally.
