Légende

Professor Samuel Morse, 1855-1860. Additional Info: Professor Samuel F. B. Morse, the American inventor who pioneered the development of the telegraph, was also trained as a painter and earned his living through portraiture while a young man. In the winter of 1838-1839, he traveled to Paris to present his electric telegraph to the Academy of Sciences. While there, he took the opportunity to meet with his fellow inventor Jacques Louis Mandé Daguerre. Morse himself became one of the earliest exponents of the daguerreotype in America, opening a portrait studio with J.W. Draper in New York in 1840. In this portrait, he demonstrated a sophisticated awareness of the camera through his steady composure and fixed gaze.
