Samuel Morse, US telegraph inventor
Samuel Morse (1791-1872), US inventor of the electric telegraph and Morse code. Morse started his career as a painter, but developed an interest in the study of electricity. From 1832 he worked on the development of the electric telegraph, striving to increase its range. He demonstrated his code, with a series of dots and dashes representing each letter, in 1838. After gaining financial support, he transmitted the first telegraph message along the new line linking Washington DC and Baltimore, USA. The first message sent was " What hath God wrought", in his code, on May 24th 1844

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of Samuel Morse, the renowned US telegraph inventor. Born in 1791, Morse initially pursued a career as a painter before his fascination with electricity led him down a different path. From 1832 onwards, he dedicated himself to developing the electric telegraph and pushing its limits. Morse's ingenuity truly shone through when he introduced his revolutionary code system in 1838. Using a series of dots and dashes to represent each letter, this code would later become known as Morse code – an essential tool for communication during that era. After securing financial support, Morse successfully transmitted the first-ever telegraph message along the newly established line connecting Washington DC and Baltimore on May 24th, 1844. The historic message sent was "What hath God wrought" showcasing both his technological prowess and deep-rooted faith. In this monochrome portrait captured by Science Photo Library, we see Samuel Morse as more than just an inventor; he is an embodiment of American innovation and determination. His contributions to electrical engineering and communications have left an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how one man's curiosity can reshape our world forever. It serves as a testament to human potential and inspires us to push boundaries in pursuit of progress.
