A portrait of Thomas Alva Edison credited to Munn & Co., the New York firm that published Scientific American and also handled patent work for many inventors. Dated around 1902, it shows Edison in his mid-fifties, when he was running his large laboratory complex in West Orange, New Jersey, and his name was attached to inventions from the incandescent lamp to the phonograph. The date and photographer credit come from an old caption card and have not been independently checked, so treat them as working attributions.
