Rembrandt Perfected: a new play - Paperback

by Braddon Mendelson (Author)

On a Spring day in 1839, American artist and telegraph inventor Samuel Morse and scenic artist Louis Daguerre - whose daguerreotype ushered in the new world of photography - meet for the first time at Daguerre's studio in Paris. While demonstrating their inventions to one another, they notice a silhouetted figure in one of Daguerre's pictures and devise a remarkable scheme to identify the individual, the first human ever depicted in a photographic image.
