Thomas A. Edison was the great inventor of the 20th century. His professional photographer, Lewis Lueder, captured his life and inventions with his camera. This CD contains a collection of published and unpublished photographs taken by photographer Lewis Lueder. Lewis Lueder was the official photographer to Mr. Thomas A. Edison from 1913 to the 1920’s. Mr. Lueder was manager of the Photographic Studio which was part of the Edison Laboratory organization.
Cameras that Lewis Lueder used to capture the inventions, candid photos and professional photographs of the great inventor, Thomas A. Edison, are part of the collection. This collection gives us a glimpse into the professional career of this photographer. Mr. Lueder was compiling a book on photography and his notes are among the artifacts. Photographs depict how Mr. Lueder used photography in industrial, commercial, social, and amateur settings.
One of our favorite photos is Thomas A. Edison, unshaven and relaxing on the yacht Sachem. Lewis Lueder captured a photo of Edison we don’t often see. The converted yacht was made available to Edison by the U.S. Navy, while he was serving as head of the Naval Consulting Board. The photo was developed from a glass slide in the Lueder collection.
Lewis Lueder took photos of an interesting recording device for Edison Diamond Disc phonographs. In the past, Edison had offered his customers the option of making home recordings on their cylinder phonographs. Those who were accustomed to making their own home recordings and were looking to upgrade to a new Diamond Disc Phonograph were perhaps encouraging the availability of such an attachment.
