I'm not even sure it depicts real machines or just stylized?
(At least the center horn seems to be levitating...
What might you be able to tell me about this print?

Rather stylized: bottom appears to be a Pathé, with a "Système Vérité"; the middle is obviously a Gramophone Co. product (although the horn cradle is obviously missing). As for the top machine, I'm not sure.

soundgen: Yes, better upright! Thank you for fixing. (Oddly, they WERE upright on the device I used to post them!?) The print is about 4' tall x 3' wide (upright! )

Re: What might you be able to tell me about this print?
Anyone know what is is? It's not advertising, the machines are just "so close but no cigar."
Was it art? I find the range of machines and the stray accoutrements very visually appealing. I like soaking it in and wondering what all the things are... and if they are even real.
Could it be I'm more sophisticated than I thought?
