September 4, 2012 is the 130th anniversary of the day the power was turned on in 1882 at the world’s first commercial power plant located in New York. The Edison Illuminating Company’s Pearl Street Station opened with a single direct current generator and the first customers included the New York Stock Exchange, J.P. Morgan’s home and the New York Times building. Seth Kaller, a leading expert in acquiring and appraising rare historic documents and artifacts, has a unique Thomas Edison note from that first day, along with a collection of related documents compiled by Edison’s chief engineer, Charles L. Clarke. The archive, valued at $22,000, is a testament to Edison’s genius of blending creative inspiration and production methods.
