Description

Monumental portrait inscribed to an Edison Storage Battery executive

Enormous matte-finish 13.5 x 16.75 photographic reproduction of a painting of Edison, affixed to a 14.75 x 18.5 mount, signed and inscribed on the mount in fountain pen, "To C. S. Williams, Jr., Thos. A. Edison.” In very good to fine condition, with light staining to the borders, some light scratching to the image, and a few scuffs on Edison's shoulder that have been touched up by a prior owner. C. S. Williams, Jr., was vice president in charge of purchases for the Edison Storage Battery Company in the 1920s, making this an excellent association piece.
