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 an outlandish scheme to identify the individual, the first human ever depicted in a photographic image.
