PARIS, 1839. Scenic artist Louis Daguerre — whose daguerreotype would usher in the new world of photography — and American telegraph inventor Samuel Morse 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. Realizing it to be the first human ever depicted in a photographic image, they devise an outlandish scheme to find the individual in a wildly ill-conceived publicity stunt to save a failing theatre. A witty and fast-paced, award-winning comedy by Braddon Mendelson.
