Uncommon 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Samuel Morse with medals adorning his chest, taken by George G. Rockwood of New York, boldly signed at the bottom of the image in black ink, "Saml. F. B. Morse." In very good to fine condition, with clipped corners, light overall soiling, and a slight brush to Morse's middle initials. A scarce autographed photo of the world-changing inventor. Encapsulated in a PSA/DNA authentication holder.
