Original 3.75 x 5.25 cabinet photo, signed in the lower border in black ink, “Sam. F. B. Morse.” Matted and framed in a period frame with a label affixed to the reverse of frame reading: “Carl R. Jonsson Maker of Fine Picture Frames, Coolidge Corner, Brookline, Mass.” Two 2.5 x 1.5 contemporary cards, penned in unidentified hand in ink, are also affixed on the reverse, one identifying the signer as the inventor of the telegraph. The other reading: “This photo was sent by Mr. Morse three months before he died–to his intimate friend Hon. Joshua Herrick of Maine.” A light brush to first letter of signature, as well as some scattered light foxing to borders, otherwise fine condition.
