9| Samuel F.B. Morse’s “Gallery of the Louvre” and the Art of Invention

Imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery. Take this large painting of the famed Salon Carré in the Musée du Louvre, for example. Samuel F.B. Morse spent months selecting paintings for his composition and painstakingly copying them for American viewers who did not have access to such art. When he returned to the United States in 1832, Morse conceived the idea for the telegraph machine. See the Louvre painting with works by old masters, as well as early telegraph machines.
