Don't dispair, often the old negatives were printed backwards. On the old style negatives there was a dull side and a shiny side. I have even seen modern pictures printed backwards. I have a Jimmy Buffett music book with Jimmy playing left handed. He does NOT play left handed. This is a backwards print in a modern music book. Try reversing the photo and see what you have. If you can't reverse it just let me know and I will be glad to do it for you and repost it for you in this blog.

Tom Edison is the first name that came to mind for me too. And long live GE? You have to be kidding , it's stock is falling like a rock, the CEO is alledged to be a crook and it looks like even the big government give away isn't going to save them? I hope the "experts" are wrong, but I dunno? Monty

It's a nice picture, but gosh, I don't see it. The guy in the wicker chair seems to have thicker hair then Tom Edison. At least that's what I see, from the pic posted of TE

Thomas Edison was a great American genius.

He gave us the juice.

Long live the memory of a great man, long live General Electric!

This is VERY true,that is why i put"erie works" behind all my L.L.G.E. as the"erie works" division of G.E. did many many good things for the war(s) effort!!!,i support the workers&enginer's not the"Big Shots"...HH ALL!!!

I didn't intend to bad mouith GE, have nothing against them personally, but their stock went below ten bucks yesterday and falling. They need to do something besides suck the government teat to stay afloat. Monty

I know there is someone on here that was doing amazing restorations...If they are reading maybe they know how to do an overlay...one picture over another...maybe later in life Edison went bald and did the Donald Trump combover thing...the picture sure looks good.

It's Ron And Ann.

At the library today i saw an image of a well know poet that really struck a resemblince of the wicker chair man image i posted! i want to say Yeats but not sure,i'll go back tommorow&copy it.it may not be edison but like you said(i have seen that guy in a history book...),when&where i got this image,"i know this person poped into my head"! so i bought it! HH ALL!!! & THANKS FOR ALL THE INTREST,HELP,COMMENTS,ETC. I guess it needs further research! i love it!

 

[boogeyman]

Definately not Edison. The wicker chair person has wider cheek bones than Edison. You got that right about looking familiar

Absolutely not Freddy Kilowatt, even in his younger days!
