This vintage His Masters Voice Gramophone and a huge collection of records have been passed down through my husband's family since the 1920's apparently. The wooden cabinet is in very good condition and it is a lovely piece of furniture as well as a fine music player.
"His Master's Voice (HMV) was the name of a major British record label created in 1901 by The Gramophone Co. Ltd. The phrase was coined in the late 1890s from the title of a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, which depicted a Jack Russell Terrier dog named Nipper listening to a wind-up disc gramophone and tilting his head. In the original, unmodified 1898 painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph. The painting was also famously used as the trademark and logo of the Victor Talking Machine Company, later known as RCA Victor."
Opposite for 52 Weeks of 2023.
I had all sorts of opposites in mind but most of them involved getting outside in dry, bright, sunny weather.
So instead, here's a last minute shot for old and new ways of listening to music or analogue and digital.

The old vinyl pressing plant and record complex at Hayes is being redeveloped and gentrified. During the interim preiod there are works of art of lots of different types across the site.

His Masters Voice LP as a wall clock. I made this myself. Bought the record for $2 at the local Salvos and installed the clock works. Notice how the time is 10 past 10? This is the most used time in watch and clock commercials. It seems that the position of the minute and hour arms are ideal for a photo.

I present this MY newest work to you,
to let you know the light, the colors, the mood,
that are waiting for you at the end of the way to Wolfiship ...
Of course, that's just a modest glow of splendor,
because nobody can show in a picture how it will really be!
nevertheless I hope to encourage and please you.
Your Wolfi.
Continuing our adventure with a visit to Bisbee Arizona.
This is the Hotel La More at the Bisbee Inn where we stayed the night. I highly recommend this quaint little inn. Excellent service. An eccentric hotel. I would stay here again.

Overlooking Brewer’s Gulch, Hotel La More has a long and storied history of weirdness. Built in 1904, the original building burned down under unknown circumstances. The building you see today was completed in 1916 by a Mrs. S.P. Bedford, the original owner and creator of Hotel La More except for its namesake. One year later the building was leased by a Mrs.Kate Lamore, who turned the hotel into the “most modern lodging in Bisbee.” Throughout the years it has been a temporary home to those visiting Bisbee, and a permanent home to many miners who worked the pit. Some of our guests have decided to stay long after their life has expired. Please treat these souls with respect; until now, they have continued to treat this property as their own. We do not own the hotel, we share it with all the previous owners and residents.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee,_Arizona
Bisbee is a city[5] in and the county seat of Cochise County[6] in southeastern Arizona, United States. It is 92 miles (148 km) southeast of Tucson and 11 miles (18 km) north of the Mexican border.
Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine.
Today, the historic city of Bisbee is known as "Old Bisbee" and is home to a thriving downtown cultural scene. This area is noted for its architecture, including Victorian-style houses and an elegant Art Deco county courthouse. Because its plan was laid out to a pedestrian scale before the automobile, Old Bisbee is compact and walkable. The town's hilly terrain is exemplified by the old four-story high school; each floor has a ground-level entrance.
Natural vegetation around Bisbee has a semi-desert appearance with shrubby acacia, oak and the like, along with cacti, grass, ocotillo and yucca. The town itself is much more luxuriant with large trees such as native cypress, sycamore and cottonwood plus the introduced ailanthus and Old World cypresses, cedars and pines. Palms are capable of growing tall, but are not reliably hardy. At least one mature blue spruce may be seen.
Haiku thoughts:
Bisbee's walls whisper—
echoes in brick and copper,
time sleeps in sun-warmth.

Some time ago HMV moved back into its original location in Oxford Street. You may notice that its famous icon 'Nipper, a Jack Russel dog' has undergone a bit of a transformation. Last time I was in London, he had become a punk dog. I am currently making an effort to buy from proper shops wherever possible, and am looking forward to popping in to this HMV store to purchase a couple of music CD's.

Berrington Hall
Good old fashioned entertainment at Berrington Hall, Shropshire. A National Trust property dated around 1775. The gardens and lake were designed by Capability Brown and were to be his final landscape design.
Berrington Hall was a location for the TV series Downton Abbey. There was a lovely display of costumes used by the various characters in this and other TV series.

I think I'm gonna start using my camera phone more to take digital lo-fi images that would emulate the aesthetics of photography in its earliest beginnings. Sometimes I might go for a daguerreotype look, or a calotype, an albumen silver print look, or any of the early processes, depending on the subject and the mood I want an image to express.
Given its "poor" picture quality and my disfavor of heavy post-processing (especially on my analogue images), I think it'll work. All I did for this one was desaturate it and turn up the contrast. The noise was caused by my camera phone's poor performance under low lighting conditions.
1.3 megapixels never looked so good to me. :P

His Master's Voice, abbreviated HMV, is a trademark in the music business and was for many years the unofficial name of a large British record label. The name was coined in the 1890s as the title of a painting of the dog Nipper listening to a wind-up gramophone. In the original painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph.
The "His Master's Voice" logo was used around the world, and the motto became well known in different languages. On long play reads the Turkish translation of "His Master's Voice" - "Sahibinin Sesi"

- His Master's Voice, abbreviated HMV, is a famous trademark in the music and recording industry and was the unofficial name of a major British record label. The name was coined in the 1890s as the title of a painting of a dog named Nipper, listening to a wind-up gramophone.
The trademark image comes from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud and titled His Master's Voice. It was acquired from the artist in 1899 by the newly formed Gramophone Company and adopted by the Victor Talking Machine Company in the United States.
According to contemporary Gramophone Company publicity material, the dog, a terrier named Nipper, had originally belonged to Barraud's brother, Mark. When Mark Barraud died, Francis inherited Nipper, with a cylinder phonograph and recordings of Mark's voice. Francis noted the peculiar interest that the dog took in the recorded voice of his late master emanating from the horn, and conceived the idea of committing the scene to canvas.
See picture in the first comment !
Der Name und das dazugehörige Logo gehen auf den Maler Francis Barraud zurück, der 1898 seinen drei Jahre zuvor verstorbenen Hund Nipper beim Lauschen eines Edison-Phonographen porträtiert hatte. Die unter anderem durch Emil Berliner neu gegründete Gramophone Company kaufte ihm das Bild inklusive der Verwertungsrechte im Jahr 1899 für insgesamt 100 Pfund ab, um es in ihren Zeitungsannoncen zu verwenden. Bedingung war allerdings, dass der ursprünglich dargestellte Edison-Phonograph durch ein Berliner-Grammophon übermalt wurde, was auch geschah. Dieses Originalgemälde bildet bis heute den Blickfang der Eingangshalle des Hauptfirmengebäudes in Hayes. Weitere 15 ähnliche Werke wurden noch geordert, wovon sich eines heute in Wien bei einem Plattenlabel befindet.
„His Master’s Voice“ im Phonomuseum „Alte Schule“
Zunächst wurde das Logo in Anzeigen verwendet. Ab 1903 ist seine Verwendung auf den charakteristischen Blechdöschen, in denen Grammophonnadeln, in Sets mit um die 100 Nadeln, verfügbar waren, belegt. Das Logo wurde in der Folge so populär, dass die Gramophone Company den Namen ihres Plattenlabels Gramophone Records im Jahr 1909 in „His Master’s Voice“ änderte und es damit fortan auch auf den Platten selbst im Schriftfeld auf der Mitte sowie an vielen weiteren Stellen zu finden war.

The terrier Nipper is probably the most legendary dog of all times:

Sad to see the doors shut on the Oxford Street branch of HMV, which leaves me with Sister Ray and Fopp to serve my music needs ...
I captured this picture of this beautiful and famous His Masters Voice Gramophone. It is believed to have been made in 1911 and the cost would have been £7 and 10 Shillings.
