The belinograph, through its multiple improvements, allows during the Second World War, to publish pictures very soon after their realization. This is the case of this famous photograph by Robert Capa, taken during the D-Day landings, which was broadcasted the day after the shooting. The grainy aspect of the image testifies to the transformation brought about by the technology used. Both an icon of the landing and an incunabulum of remote transmission, it announces the exponential exchange of images that defines our contemporary world.
