Description

American artist and inventor (1791–1872) whose development of the telegraph revolutionized communication—and indeed, society as a whole—and represented a crucial step toward such later innovations as the telephone. ANS, one lightly lined page, 7.5 x 3, December 11, 1860. Morse writes from New York. In full: “I cheerfully comply with your request.” A hint of subtle toning and a few stray ink marks to blank portions, otherwise fine, crisp condition. R&R COA.
