The electric age was born in 1882 on Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan
when Thomas Edison began operating the city’s first central power
station. One jumbo dynamo helped generate enough direct current to power
800 light bulbs, and within a year Edison’s company had more than 500
customers.

Hadrian, in Egyptian royal headdress. Roman, early second century AD,
