Does anybody know who this is?
I'm doing this for History class and I need to know who this person is and why they're important:

CLUE:
This optimist made an invention that combined both negative with positive elements together to create a vision which no one before him had realized. Who is he, and why is he important to your life.

What kind of history class is this? What are you working on right now? That would help narrow it down because this guy isn't instantly recognizable, and that clue is pretty vague.
I'm fairly certain he is not a well-known "inventor" of any kind, in the literal Thomas Edison kind of way.
His general look seems to put him in the 1880s-1900s era.

Nothing to do with X-rays (that was Roentgen) as the picture isn't him, nor is it Eastman or Edison (I've checked on Google images).
Wish I knew who it was as he looks vaguely familiar, but can't place him at the moment.

Maybe it's George Eastman.

He looks a little like Bernhard Riemann, though I am probably wrong.

"Optimist" and "invention" do not usually go together; one implies philosophy, the other physical.
Nobel invented dynamite; he was sure it was so horrible and deadly that it would wipe out war. ---Jim
