Ticker tape - History. 1  Although telegraphic printing systems were first invented by Royal Earl House in 1846, early models were fragile, required hand-cranked power, frequently went out of synchronization between sender and receiver, and did not become popular in widespread commercial use.
In 1943, Reynal & Hitchcock published Saint-ExupÃ©ryâs The Little Prince in English, translated by Katherine Woods and then published the French version (Le Petit Prince) shortly after. The publisherâs English version features a five-line colophon at the end of the book, while the French version does not.
The Little Prince is a poetic tale, with watercolour illustrations by the author, in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince visiting Earth from a tiny asteroid. The story is philosophical and includes social criticism of the adult world.
