Facsimile

   

A facsimile is a copy of something that is as true to the original as possible. One common use of the word is for books that reproduce exactly an older edition (for scholarly purposes and nostalgia).

A digital facsimile, that is, a set of digital images, is a copy of the content of a book or document, including layout and images, but without copying the physical book form.

The first facsimile to be sent across the Atlantic Ocean was sent by Ernst Alexanderson on June 5, 1924 to his father in Sweden.
