EDISON, THOMAS. Cabinet photograph signed ("Thomas A Edison" on recto and "Edison" on verso), Paris, n.d. [c. 1877?]. 163 x 108 mm. (6 3/8 x 4¼ in.) including mount, both sides with imprint of V. Daireaux, Paris. Boldly signed on mount at bottom with a typical "umbrella signature."
A very rare cabinet card, and an unusually early portrait. No other cabinet card photograph of Edison has been offered at auction in over a decade. While undated, the photograph is undoubtedly an early image of the engineer and scientist. Edison is depicted from the waist up, in wide-lapel jacket and tie.
