Lafayette by Morse – Australia

Samuel Morse was originally a painter. While painting this portrait of Lafayette he received a letter notifying him that his wife was gravely ill but the slowness of communication meant that he had no hope of returning home to her before she died. This in part inspired him to find a more direct form of communication. From this origin point comes all the electronic communication and transmission that consumes life in this century, the ribbons of data that constantly fly through our air.
