托马斯·爱迪生因其发明而获得了世界声誉,包括留声机;白炽发光;以及克内托镜,一款早期运动相机. 富有的企业家正处在职业生涯的顶峰,当时总部在巴黎的美国艺术家亚伯拉罕·A·安德森(Abraham A. Anderson)在爱迪生访问该市参加1889年世界博览会期间开始这幅肖像. 爱迪生的发明是博览会的"机器之光"的亮点,其中一展厅专门用于他的电灯上,另一展厅用于他最近改进的留声机上,安德森选择了这幅画. 桌上的蜡瓶被用来录音. 虽然爱迪生在1877年申请了第一个版本的装置的专利,为自己赢得了"门罗公园的维扎德"(Wizard of Menlo Park)的称号,但过了11年之后,他才取得了足够清晰的音效使其在商业上可行. 他报告说,“当这样做时,”“我知道其他一切事情都可以做到,这是事实。 “
