This framed antique commemorative portrait print honors the legendary inventor Thomas Alva Edison. The sepia-toned bust portrait captures Edison in formal attire, complete with a bowtie and vest. A decorative banner at the bottom reads Thomas Alva Edison, Inventor, Scientist and Benefactor of Mankind, and lists his historical life dates as born February 11, 1847, and died October 18, 1931. The bottom margin also displays a copyright attribution to Bachrach, a historic photography studio. The piece comes protected under glass in a classic dark wooden frame that measures 17.75 inches wide by 21.5 inches high. It shows light surface wear and minor scuffing on the frame edge, making it an exceptional display item for collectors of historic Americana or vintage industrial science memorabilia
