The Wizard of Menlo Park by Scientific American Edison

Edison's choice of favoring this journal with the demonstration was shrewd as the editorial staff was familiar with the latest experiments that attempted to recreate the human voice. Edison could coax what sounded like a naturally infected human voice from a few pieces of metal set up roughly on an iron stand about a foot square so it kind of makes sense why right after this the press converges on his laboratory in Menlo Park he gets the name the Wizard of Menlo Park from this and he just keeps inventing  with every new invention his fame just grows and grows for the next 50 years of his life to his death.
