"A century ago David Nunes Carvalho a renowned expert on ink handwriting and print became a central figure in some of the world’s most sensational investigations providing key information and contributing to the ultimate exoneration of the Franco-Jewish military officer Alfred Dreyfus.A review of Claire’s book in the Hartford Daily Courant provides one of the most compelling anecdotes of the legend surrounding David’s investigative powers: “It is indeed a fact that Sir Conan Doyle stated in a lecture in New York that Mr. Carvalho’s powers exceeded those given to Sherlock Holmes and were so startling that he would never dare put them into fiction! ”David seemed to have inherited his father’s spirit of innovation and experimentation. On the Frémont expedition Solomon successfully tinkered with chemicals in order to produce photographic images in subzero temperatures and exterior settings and later in life he patented a new process for water heating. Like Solomon David began his career as a photographer and when he later turned his attention to the science of ink and print he did so with a similar curiosity and determination." by Harold Heft April 1 2013 in Forward Magazine; B&W Illustrations; 296p. pages; Pictured 6/17/24 .
