THOMAS A. EDISON
(1847 - 1931) American inventor of the electric light, phonograph, typewriter, and microphone, to name a few. Considered perhaps the greatest inventor of the century. A rare S.P. 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", matted to 12" x 14", a b/w, a full-length portrait showing Edison and his team standing in front of his laboratory. Taken by Edison with his own copyright, initials and date "7-16-16" printed at bottom right of the image. Boldly signed at bottom blank mount. Light bleeding to signature, light wear to edges of mount but well-clear of signature, overall very good.
