Description
This rare, early 20th-century paper folding brochure from the Columbia Phonograph Co. of New York details “The Living Voices of My Friends” Voice Album, showcasing an engaging piece of early sound recording history. As a seasoned ephemera collectorI appreciate how this piece meticulously explains the use of the Columbia Cylinder Graphophone, provides instructions on how to record audio at home, and lists prices for “Napkin Ring” and “XP” blank recording cylinders. The brochure features beaul period typography, illustrations of early graphophones, and a comprehensive list of global Columbia sales offices. It is in exceptionally good, crisp condition with minor edge wear, light age toning, and a small cut and mark visible on the back cover that do not compromise its overall structural integrity. H 5.75″, W 2.75″, D 0.1″.Please see photos for condition. From the Allan Koenigsberg collection.
