EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1891 showcases the revolutionary invention of Emile Berliner - the Gramophone. Invented in 1887, this player marked a significant milestone in the history of audio recording and playback. The intricate details captured by the English artist beautifully depict the essence of this groundbreaking device. The image portrays a late 19th-century phonograph with its distinct horn-shaped speaker and rotating disc. The craftsmanship evident in every line and curve highlights both its elegance and functionality. This particular print, part of The Granger Collection from New York, offers a glimpse into an era when technology was rapidly advancing. Emile Berliner's invention revolutionized how we consume music, paving the way for future innovations that would shape our modern world. While not explicitly mentioned in this caption, it is worth noting that commercial use eventually propelled phonographs to become household items across the globe. As we admire this historical artifact frozen in time through an engraver's skillful hands, let us appreciate how far we have come since then. From these humble beginnings emerged an industry that continues to evolve today – one that has brought joy to countless lives through music and sound reproduction technologies.
