THE BULB WAS ONLY THE PART PEOPLE SAW.

Pearl Street was not one invention. It was generation, conductors, meters, protection, regulation, crews, capital, and a city district waiting for the system to work.

The front carries the restrained FEv catalog mark. The back records the moment through a period station operator, knife-style switchgear, and a printed QR code leading to the complete Episode 1 field note. This first Episode documents what Edison's system accomplished before the rest of Volume 1 begins questioning who received the credit—and who did not.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

A few helpful answers.

How do I choose my size or color?

Both Episode tees use the relaxed, unisex Comfort Colors 1717. Compare a shirt you own with the size guide in our Printful store; choose the color and size on the product listing.

What happens when I scan the code?

The Episode 1 code is on the back, and Episode 2's is on the sleeve. Each opens the story and historical sources for that Episode. The Volume 1 mug is a collection piece without an Episode QR. A code is a way to discover the story, not proof of purchase.

When will my order arrive?

Items are made after you order. Check estimated delivery at checkout; shipping and applicable tax are shown before payment. The store ships within the United States.

What if I need help with an order?

Printful handles Quick Store order support. Visit our store and use the contact link in its footer for tracking, delivery, or product issues.

Can I return or exchange it?

Quick Store purchases are made to order. Size, color, and change-of-mind returns or exchanges are not accepted. Damaged or defective items can be reported within 30 days of delivery; lost packages within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. Read Printful’s Quick Stores policy ↗.
