Old telephone circa 1892

Took the son to Scienceworks today in Melbourne. Scienceworks museum is about learning about science and technology in a fun interactive way.
There was so much fantastic old and futuristic technology, I loved this old phone, it was a shame it was behind glass.

Thanks for looking!

Wow, they really were a work of art weren't they. I love Scienceworks in Melbourne. I remember it first opening when we lived in Melbourne.

Great shot, when you compare to a mobile phone hard to believe they both do the same thing

Ah, phones were much more elegant then! But would be hard to carry around. Lol
Nice capture.

I must say it makes the modern phones look very ordinary. Lovely shot and processing.

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the sheer beauty of this old phone, your capture of the detail, and the way you've processed it. Fav for me. Your Scienceworks sounds a bit like our Science Centre here in Toronto.
