  On June 8, 1915. a Chinese trade delegation visited Thomas Edison in Llewellyn Park, West Orange, New Jersey, where he lived. There were 18 in the delegation, with three secretaries. Some of them are indentifed in this new york times account: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9902E6D81338E6...

  Pennyrichardsca found this account of the trip in Electrical World Magazine:
  
  "The commission spent the entire day of June 8 at the plant of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., traveling in a special train directly to the establishment. The members of the commission were received by Mr. Edison in the laboratory and were then taken by Mr. M. R. Hutchison, chief engineer, on a tour of the buildings. The morning was spent in the Edison Storage Battery Company building. The members of the commission and the large party accompanying them were entertained at lunch and afterward viewed educational, comic and talking moving pictures. The guests also saw a demonstration of the machine that records telephone conversations."

Madeleine Edison (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  That's Madeleine Edison (check spelling) (1888-1979), daughter of Thomas Edison. This might have been an engagement portrait; she was married in 1914, to aviator John Eyre Sloane. Her four sons were Thomas Edison's only grandchildren. www.nps.gov/edis/historyculture/madeleine-edison-sloane.htm
