GENERAL INFO

Description: Mephisto was an automatic machine built by Charles Godfrey Gumpel that, unlike the automata known to date, Mephisto was not controlled by an operator inside, it was controlled remotely by electromechanical means. It was first shown in 1878 in London, and was controlled by Isidor Gunsberg, chess master. His last appearance was at the Universal Exhibition in Paris (1889). His doll had the face of Mephistopheles, he was dressed in red velvet, his head was shaved and a pink hat with two feathers; one foot was human and the other was an animal leg, with a hoof. He was sitting at a flat board and there were no compartments where a man could be hiding.
