This portrait was made in 1887, an exciting and prolific time for Thomas Edison. Newly married to his second wife, Mina Miller, the famed inventor began construction of his West Orange, New Jersey laboratory. More than half of Edison's 1,093 patents resulted from the collaborative work done in the complex, which became a model for modern research and development laboratories.
