The dry plate glass negative, created between 1900 and 1920, captures America's most prolific inventor at the pinnacle of his influence, when his innovations in electricity, sound recording, and motion pictures were transforming modern civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdison had already revolutionized the world with the phonograph in 1877, the practical incandescent light bulb in 1879, and the motion picture camera in the 1890s. His Menlo Park laboratory, later reconstructed by Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, pioneered the concept of industrial research, employing teams of specialists to systematically develop new technologies that would reshape every aspect of daily life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Detroit Publishing Company, established in the 1890s, became one of America's foremost publishers of photographic images, their collection now preserved as part of the Library of Congress American Memory archives. This Edison portrait is featured in multiple \"Today in History\" commemorations honoring his remarkable contributions to American innovation and technological progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis distinguished portrait offers a window into the era when American ingenuity was transforming the modern world. The composition captures the \"Wizard of Menlo Park\" whose more than one thousand patents continue to influence technology, making it an extraordinary addition to any collection celebrating American invention and industrial heritage.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x12 Inch","offer_id":47657451552957,"sku":"ENP0342_0812V","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x17 Inch","offer_id":47657451585725,"sku":"ENP0342_1117V","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x24 Inch","offer_id":47657451618493,"sku":"ENP0342_1624V","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 Inch","offer_id":47657451651261,"sku":"ENP0342_2436V","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/08_C3_9712-1Main_14b47fbb-8d50-4c95-b150-345c0f18c72f.jpg?v=1784260070","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1900-thomas-edison-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
