Identified in the record as Mrs. T.A. Edison, this glass negative most likely shows Mina Miller, who became the second wife of inventor Thomas A. Edison when they married in 1886. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs, but the record gives no date, and the title comes from caption data that has not been verified. Viewers interested in the Edison family may want to compare it with photographs of their home, Glenmont, in West Orange, New Jersey.
