QMAG12_NIKKI.indd 12 22/04/2021 14:50R Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931) has been described as America's greatest inventor who was responsible for an
abundance of creations including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light bulb.
Edison held over 1,000 US patents as well as many here in the UK, and his work made a huge contribution to mass
communication, industrial research, and electric generation and distribution systems.
This stunning letter signed by Edison is on beautifully headed paper from the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison dated
1st July 1911 and reads 'I am sending my representative Mr James Ricalton to your part of the world to secure
photographically characteristic scenes, life, and industries along your lines: any consideration you may be able to
extend to him in the way of transportation will be a personal kindness to me'.
Thomas Edison
Edison has an exquisitely
graceful signature, and
despite being over
100 years old this letter
remains in fantastic
condition. A masterpiece
for your collection.

Sir Edmund Hillary (1919 - 2008) was a New Zealand explorer who became the first man to reach the summit of Mount Everest on 29th
May 1953, along with his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Prior to the expedition Hillary joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1943 serving
as a navigator in the Pacific Theatre. After his Everest accomplishment he was part of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition
which reached the South Pole in 1958 and later flew alongside Neil Armstrong to the North Pole, making him the first person to have
stood at both poles and the summit of Everest. Hillary also founded the Himalayan Trust which was dedicated to helping the Sherpas
by constructing many schools and hospitals across Nepal.
