Rencontre au sommet...de la Tour Eiffel , a photo by -DeiviD- on Flickr. Not the real duo -- i.e. Edison and Eiffel -- but the "recreation" you see at the top of the Eiffel tower.

From Kafka's Diaries

Edison, in an American interview, told of his trip through Bohemia, in his opinion the relatively higher development of Bohemia (in the suburbs there are broad streets, gardens in front of the houses, in travelling through the country you see factories being built) is due to the fact that the emigration of Czechs to America is so large, and that those returning from there one by one bring new ambition back.
