EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Albert J. Myer, a prominent figure in American history during the late 19th century. The image, captured between 1870 and 1880 by an unknown photographer, portrays General Myer in his military attire. General Albert J. Myer was not only a distinguished officer but also a renowned surgeon who played a crucial role as the first chief signal officer of the U. S. Army Signal Corps. His notable achievements include inventing wig-wag signaling or aerial telegraphy and contributing to the establishment of the US Weather Bureau. In this portrait, General Myer exudes confidence and authority with his well-groomed beard and distinctive epaulettes adorning his uniform. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the fashion clothing of that era, showcasing both style and functionality. The image is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress, serving as a testament to General Myer's significant contributions to science, medicine, and military strategy during this pivotal period in American history. As we admire this remarkable portrait photograph from over a century ago, we are reminded of General Albert J. Myer's enduring legacy as an influential leader whose dedication shaped our nation's progress in various fields including communication systems and meteorology.
