EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Thomas Edison at the age of 15, standing proudly in the middle of a train car that served as his innovative printing shop. The unknown artist beautifully portrays this formative moment in Edison's life, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit and determination. In this unique setting, surrounded by machinery and ink-stained papers, Edison wrote and printed his very own newspaper called the Weekly Herald. With an unwavering passion for journalism even at such a tender age, he fearlessly embarked on selling copies to travelers passing through. The image exudes a sense of industriousness and ambition as young Edison stands amidst his makeshift workspace. His focused gaze hints at the boundless creativity brewing within him, foreshadowing the countless inventions he would go on to create later in life. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this historical moment with precision and artistry. Through this engraving portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the humble beginnings of one of history's greatest inventors. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder that greatness often starts from modest origins. It is an ode to perseverance and innovation - qualities embodied by Thomas Edison throughout his illustrious career.
