"His
Master's Voice"
The
history of the adopção of this symbol is at curious least...
In the end of the Century XIX (in the nineties), he/she died Marc Barraud,
a theatrical scenographer.
To the brother, the English artist Francis Barraud, he/she left a
small called dog then Nipper
and a phonograph. It is counted that a certain day
when putting in operation the said phonograph, Francis
will have noticed the interest that the same woke up in the small animal
and he decided to paint that fenómeno in a picture the one that gave the
singular name of "his master voice": Having painted a fonógrado
of the mark Edison-Bell, Barraud will have reminded her of
taking him referred picture the this company with the
intention of selling. The answer that obtained was a no peremptory: "the
dogs don't hear phonographs".
it Went him/her then suggested an actualização of the picture, substituting
the phonograph for the last model of a gramophone.
Having asked to borrow a gramophone Gramophone Company of London, to serve
as model, Barraud decided to show the final picture to the leader of this
company, William Barry Owen, that immediately bought him/her the picture
and all the inherent rights. The business closed on September 15, 1899,
for 100 pounds.
And it is like this that small Nipper substitutes the old emblem of this
company and starting from 1900 it is adoptado as mark image in the USA
and, later, in Europe. He/she remains to refer that the original picture
of Barraud is exposed actualmente in Hayes (Middlesex), in the escritórios
of EMI, Gramophone Company successor. And as Nipper was forever the most
famous dog of the history, a lot before Lassie.
