Blank Cream Writing Paper from Osborne House
with Edward's Crested Monogram in Blue in the centre and the phone numbers on the left hand side, 8vo., Osborne House, Isle of Wight, no date, circa
Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his telephone to Queen Victoria with the UK's first publicly witnessed long-distance calls, placed from Osborne House on the Isle of Wight to London, Cowes and Southampton. The Queen was so impressed that she asked "If there was no reason against it, to purchase the two instruments which are still here, with the wires, etc, attached."
