Cover of Radio Log Canada, 1929

The three-colour print illustration in red, blue and black shows a woman in the foreground. A conductor, a hockey player, a dancing woman with a musician, a clown and an actress in costume form the middle ground, overlapping the title of the book.

Radio Log (1929), Canada. Musée des ondes Emile Berliner.

On the cover of this radio newspaper from 1929, a woman sits in a comfortable chair making notes in her logbook. Behind her we see a radio dial and figures representing different programs. This image shows us that radio listening in the 1920s and 1930s often meant discovering new broadcasts. Logbooks became records of this activity.
