Statue to Chappe and optical telegraphy. 19th-century artwork of a statue of the French engineer Claude Chappe (1763-1805),inventor of mechanical-optical telegraphy. His invention is seen behind him.

A message could be sent between the two cities in under 6 minutes,rather than taking 30 hours by courier on horseback.
