I wrote a blog post after a visit to Porthcurno beach in Cornwall, UK, where the Atlantic cable originally came ashore.

These are really, really gorgeous and *almost* perfect for simple printing from my home printer.
Great stuff. I love seeing these originals with contemporary images such as this one from the atlas of cyberspace.
