Mina Miller Edison, who became the second wife of inventor Thomas Edison when the two married in 1886, sits for this portrait print from about 1906. The photoprint carries a Pach Bros. copyright, marking it as the work of the New York studio that was among the best known portrait photographers of its era. Mina Edison went on to take an active role in the family's affairs and in the social life surrounding her husband's celebrated laboratory work in New Jersey. The record's details come from a caption card and are not fully verified, so the date and attribution are worth checking against other sources.
