The History of Patents

In 17 14, the first patent for henry mill was issued by queen anne of great britain. In 18 o eight, a italian inventor creates a typing machine for the countess carolina fantoni because she had lost her vision. We don't know what this particular device looked like; no model survives. But unlike the case with mill, we know that it existed because there are still a e examples of the letters that the countess wrote on this device.
