Samuel Finley Breese Morse, Bronze sculpture in Central Park, United States.
The bronze statue stands 10 feet tall on a granite pedestal near the intersection of 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue in Central Park.
The monument, dedicated on June 10, 1871, commemorates Samuel Morse's contributions to telegraphy and his role in developing long-distance communication systems.
The sculpture represents Morse holding a piece of telegraph tape, symbolizing his dual career as both an inventor and professor of arts.
