SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, March 19, 1881

* Thomas Alva Edison
* Electric light patent #

Near the back is an inconspicuous yet very significant item under the list of: "Index of Inventions For Which Letters Patent of the United States were Granted in the Week Ending Feb. 15, 1881" is an entry reading: "Electric light, T.A. Edison.....237,732".
This was the patent given to Thomas Edison for the light bulb, certainly one of his most famous inventions and one which transformed lifestyles for everyone.
Also in this issue is an article: "A Reception of Professor Bell" which was given for him by the mayor & corporation of Brantford, England.
Sixteen pages, irregular at the blank spine due to disbinding, otherwise nice condition.
