EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge, Ft. Myers, Fla. - A tribute to the legendary inventor and industrialist who adopted Ft. Myers as his home for over four decades. From 1885 until his death in 1931, Thomas Edison found inspiration and solace in the sun-drenched landscapes of Southwest Florida. His estate, located on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, served as both a laboratory for his groundbreaking scientific discoveries and a sanctuary for his love of horticulture. The historical bridge, named in his honor, spans the Caloosahatchee River and connects the city of Ft. Myers with the rest of Lee County. As you cross the bridge, you can't help but be reminded of the profound impact Thomas Edison had on the world. He is credited with bringing electricity to the masses, and his inventions, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the practical electric light bulb, have shaped modern life. But Thomas Edison was more than just a scientist and an industrialist. He was also an avid gardener, and the grounds of his estate were home to elaborate botanical gardens filled with rare tropical plants. It was Edison who first brought the majestic Royal Palms to Ft. Myers, earning the city its nickname, "The City of Palms." As you stand on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, gazing at the Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge, you can almost hear the hum of Edison's laboratory, feel the excitement of his discoveries, and witness the beauty of his gardens. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of a man who left an indelible mark on history.
