Historical Portrait
Guglielmo Marconi, half-length portrait, in military uniform
About this photograph
The archive catalogues this as a half-length portrait of Guglielmo Marconi in military uniform, dated 1871. The creator field also lists Marconi himself.
The date presents a problem. Marconi was born in 1874, making a photograph from 1871 impossible. Whether the year is a cataloguing error, the photograph shows someone else, or the image has been misdated in some other way cannot be determined from the record. No further information about the circumstances of the photograph, the uniform, or when it was actually taken is available.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
