EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable family of Thomas Edison, the renowned American inventor. Known for his groundbreaking inventions such as the phonograph and improved light bulb, Edison's influence on technology is immeasurable. In this image, taken at their family home in Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, we see his second wife Mina Miller seated on the steps with an air of grace and elegance. Surrounded by their three children from this marriage - Madeleine, Charles, and Theodore - the Edisons exude a sense of unity and love. Madeleine stands proudly at her mother's left side while Charles stands beside his father. The youngest member of the family, Theodore Miller Edison takes center stage with an innocent smile that hints at great potential. It is worth noting that Thomas Edison had three children from his previous marriage as well; however, this portrait focuses solely on his second family. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the early 20th century when innovation was flourishing alongside familial bonds. Published in London's Black and White periodical, this historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into both personal history and technological progress. It serves as a testament to Edison's brilliance not only as an inventor but also as a devoted husband and father who found solace within these walls amidst countless scientific breakthroughs.
