A renowned portrait artist and landscape painter associated with the Hudson River School, Samuel F.B. Morse (1791 - 1872) conceived of the idea for the electromagnetic telegraph while sailing back to New York from Europe where he had painted in the Vatican galleries. Morse, who spent his later years in New York's Hudson River Valley, loved to fish for trout and steelhead. It is widely believed that Morse etched the design on the rod handle pictured. The maker is unknown.
