Guglielmo Marconi

A young man with a moustache, wearing a suit jacket, sits posed for a formal portrait, his left hand beneath his chin.

Photographer unknown. December 1901. St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. “Guglielmo Marconi.” James Vey Collection, Series, Item B 1-98. The Rooms, Provincial Archives Division.

The Marconi family were  aristocrats and they felt that what the public thought of them was important. Guglielmo took good care of himself and made sure to dress nicely to present a positive image.
