Was there tv around in 1899?

Answer:
No, even wireless Morse code transmission hadn't been invented at that time.

Voice radio transmission was several years in the future and the earliest functional TVs weren't developed until the 1920s. Most of them were very crude devices that could only show shadow images and/or limited movement.
