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. Original 2.25 x 4 full-length carte-de-visite photo by Thomas Faris Art Gallery of New York, signed in the lower border in black ink, “Samuel F. B. Morse.” In fine condition, with clipped corner tips and a trivial spot under signature. A superb image of the world-changing inventor. RR Auction COA.
