Choice ALS signed “N. Tesla,” one page, 5.25 x 6.75, personal monogram letterhead, November 16, 1904. Handwritten letter to "Prof. Osborn," in full: "Please accept and transmit to all of your family my warm felicitations. Looking to the pleasure of personal acquaintance." In very fine condition.
In 1904, Nikola Tesla was working primarily in New York, focusing on ambitious but financially strained projects related to wireless transmission of energy and information. He was still promoting the ideas behind his Wardenclyffe Tower, aiming to transmit wireless communications and power across long distances, though funding—especially from J. P. Morgan—had largely dried up by this point.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
