The (typewritten) Raven, composed by Daugherty on a Daugherty

From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette (Fort Wayne, Indiana), July 14, 1894.

(Missing lines: “gloating o’er,/ She, shall press, ah, nevermore.”)

Printed in the Phonographic World, June 1894.

The Phonographic World regularly published original poetry from a variety of stenographers, and, apparently, famous works. The Daugherty was the first visible typewriter on the market. Here are some interesting links relating to this machine:
