EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by Hewerdine, we are transported back to the 12th of July in 1928. The image showcases a momentous occasion where the durability of Savoy Gramophone Records is put to the ultimate test. Manufactured by Savoy Gramophone Records Ltd, these records were marketed as being virtually indestructible - impervious to twisting, bending, scratching, and even being stood on. The photograph exudes an air of anticipation as we witness a female audio equipment expert meticulously examining one of these groundbreaking records. Her focused expression reveals her determination to push the limits and validate the claims made about their resilience. The vintage aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot from history. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has come since those early days when gramophones reigned supreme in entertainment. Hewerdine's skillful composition captures not only the technical aspects but also evokes curiosity about what lies beyond the frame. We can almost hear the crackling sound that would have emanated from that record player during its rigorous testing process. This print is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in an era where music was cherished on physical mediums rather than digital files. It invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with music today while appreciating the craftsmanship behind these timeless artifacts.
