Thomas Edison Autographs
Thomas Edison was one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century. He was born in Milan, Ohio in 1847, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan. Edison showed an early interest in science, and by the age of 10, he had already built his first laboratory.
Edison is perhaps best known for his work on the electric light bulb. In 1879, after years of experimentation, he developed the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb. He also invented the first electrical power distribution system, which made it possible to light entire cities with electricity. He was awarded over 1,000 patents during his lifetime, and his inventions had a profound impact on science and technology.
Besides his work on the light bulb and electrical power distribution, Edison was also heavily involved in the development of motion pictures. In 1891, he patented the Kinetoscope, which allowed for the viewing of moving pictures. He later developed the first motion picture camera, and his innovations laid the groundwork for the modern film industry. Edison's legacy continues to influence science and technology to this day, and he remains one of the most famous and respected figures in the history of science.
