Art Nouveau French His Master, s Voice Gramophone

About the Item

Amazing his Master,s Voice Gramophone Features of the Retro His Master's Voice Gramophone Technical Data: Lobed sheet metal trumpet Measurements: 75 cm x 44 cm x 42 cm Original wind-up mechanism Brand: His Master's Voice Origin: Private collection, France Square-profile oak case, marked with the dog listening to the voice of its deceased master Working, great sound quality This beautiful original French gramophone from the early 20th century, circa 1910, responds to humanity's need to connect with the past while facing the future. When information and technology continually invade and overwhelm us in our daily lives, the need to revisit our roots and our past is like a breath of fresh air. Listening to any melody on this gramophone stirs in us nostalgia for a time when beauty, harmony, refinement, and a peaceful enjoyment of life were paramount! About His Master,s voice Gramophone ------------------------------------------------------ The English painter Francis Barraud inherited from his brother Mark, also a painter, his phonograph, his collection of wax cylinders, and his dog, Nipper, a Jack Russell Terrier. Among those cylinders were some on which Mark himself had recorded his voice, and every time Francis played one, Nipper would approach the phonograph's bell and listen attentively, between curious and confused, unable to understand where his master's voice was coming from. Originally titled "Dog Looking at and Listening to a Phonograph," the title was later changed to "His Master's Voice." Francis Barraud recreated this scene in 1895, four years after Nipper's death, and sold the rights to the work to the Gramophone Company in 1899, who asked him to redo the painting, replacing the phonograph with a model of the gramophone they produced. He made 24 copies of the painting and the Gramophone Company and its associated companies used this emblem from 1909. A great opportunity!!!!!

His Masters Voice Large Advertising Paper Mache RCA Store Display 'Nipper' Dog
By Old King Cole
Located in Hamilton, Ontario
This large advertising store display 'Nipper' dog was made by the Old King Cole Company of Ohio, and dates to approximately 1920 and done in a period Art Deco style. The sculpture is done entirely of a molded paper mache which has been hand painted with a white ground, and black accents with some gold finish on the collar.
