Cover illustration for Bulletin of the New York Edison Company

1906–1907

Vintage illustration featuring a caricature of a man in colonial attire with a tricorn hat, sitting on a chair and holding a sword, with the text "Bulletin of The New York Edison Company" above him. The style suggests early 20th-century commercial art, possibly for advertising or a publication cover.
