Guglielmo Marconi (25
April 1874 – 20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor,
known for his pioneering work on long distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio
telegraph system. Marconi is
often credited as the inventor of radio,
and he shared the 1909 Nobel
Prize in Physics with Karl
Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the
development of wireless telegraphy". As an entrepreneur, businessman, and founder of the The Wireless Telegraph
& Signal Company in Britain in 1897, Marconi succeeded in making a commercial success
of radio by innovating and building on the work of previous experimenters and
physicists. In 1924, he
was ennobled as a Marchese.
Canada post honoured this great inventor by issuing this stamp and FDC on his 100th birth Anniversary in 1974.
