NEW YORK TIMES, June 4, 1878 

* Inventor Thomas Edison
* The phonograph


The top of page 5 has a column headed: "AN EVENING WITH EDISON. What The Phonograph Can Do." with various subheads including: "It's Inventor's Practiced Hand Makes It Sing In Time and Tune--It Repeats Levy's Harmony & the Babbling of a Crowd..." with more (see).  This article takes over half a column and is a great analysis of this modern marvel of the 19th century.
Complete in 8 pages, light browning at the margins, some small margin tears, should be handled carefully.
