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.
Moral allegory and spiritual autobiography, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language. With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, learning the vagaries of adult behaviour through a series of extraordinary encounters.
