Attractive pair of vintage photographs of Thomas Edison and his second wife, Mina Miller Edison, which includes: a matte-finish 4 x 5.5 portrait photo of Thomas Edison by James W. White & Co., affixed to its original 5.75 x 7.75 cardstock mount, which is signed below in bold ink with his umbrella signature, “Thomas A. Edison”; and an original 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photograph of Mina Edison in a standing three-quarter-length pose, published by the Davis & Sanford photography studio, signed in fountain, “Mina M. Edison.” The reverse of both photographs bears stamps from the Valentine Museum of Richmond, Virginia, which had the photos deaccessioned to benefit collection care, preservation, and future acquisitions. In overall fine condition, with a very faint surface scratch to Edison's face, noticeable at an angle.
