Title:
Thomas Edison Signed Cut Display with Photograph – PSA/DNA Certified Authentic Auto
Description:
Offered here is a boldly signed cut of Thomas A. Edison, one of the most prolific inventors in history, mounted beneath a sepia-toned photograph of Edison holding one of his most famous creations—the incandescent light bulb. The autograph, signed “Thos A Edison”, appears in dark ink beneath the printed closing salutation “Yours truly,” on a clean ivory-colored slip.
Edison’s signature is sweeping and unmistakable, with the large flourish extending beneath the line—a style consistent with his later-life autographs. The piece is elegantly displayed in a black mat and securely encapsulated by PSA for long-term preservation.
Historical Context:
Thomas Edison (1847–1931) was a towering figure of the Industrial Age, holding over 1,000 U.S. patents and pioneering revolutionary technologies such as the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light bulb. His Menlo Park laboratory became a symbol of modern innovation, and his inventions fundamentally transformed daily life in the 19th and 20th centuries.
This signature likely comes from a signed letter or document dating to Edison’s later years, when he remained an iconic figure in American industry and continued to be celebrated for his lifetime of innovation. The accompanying photograph is one of the most recognized images of Edison, making this display a powerful tribute to his legacy.
