Description

Immaculate oversized portrait of the greatest American inventor

Remarkable matte-finish 6.5 x 8.5 portrait of Edison in a three-quarter-length pose seated in his study with his hands gently clasped in his lap, affixed to its original 9.25 x 11.25 mount, boldly signed on the mount in black ink with his instantly recognizable 'umbrella' signature, "Thos. A. Edison." Expertly archivally silk-matted and framed with a descriptive plaque to an overall size of 18 x 27. In fine to very fine condition. An oversized, crystal-clear photograph of the legendary 'Wizard of Menlo Park'—undoubtedly one of the finest extant.
