Thomas Edison's Black Maria 
WEST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY

This statue, sculpted by Ohio artist Alan Cottrill in 2017, is prominently located at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in West Orange, NJ. In his right hand, Edison offers his incandescent light bulb (his major achievement); and in his left hand he holds a notebook recording progress on his experiments.
