Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of Samuel Finley Breese Morse: Including Appropriate Ceremonies of Respect at the National, Capital, and Elsewhere Prof. Samuel Finley Breese Morse, the inventor of the electromagnetic telegraph, was born in Charlestown, Mass., on the 27th of April, 1791. His father was the Rev. Jedidiah Morse, D. D., pastor of the First Congregational Church in Charlestown. He was the eldest of three brothers, Sidney E. and Richard C, the founders of the New York Observer being respectively two and four years his juniors. Samuel Finley graduated at Yale College in 1810, and, having resolved to devote his life to art, he went the next year to England with Washington Allston, to study under his tuition and that of Benjamin West. He produced a model of a dying Hercules, which gained for him a gold medal from the Adelphi Society of Arts; but Providence had reserved him for other works than those of the pencil and the chisel, though he always retained his early fondness for such pursuits. He made a second voyage to Europe in 1829 to complete his studies in the chief cities of the continent, where he produced a number of paintings, which are held in high repute. He was one of the founders of the National Academy of Design in 1826; he was its first president; he was about the same time lecturer on the fine arts at the New York Athenæum; and during his second residence abroad he was elected to the professorship of the literature of the arts of design in the University of the City of New York. It was on the voyage home in 1832, to enter upon the duties of this position, that he conceived the great invention to which he owes his world-wide fame.
