Lioret Talking Doll

Post by phonogfp »

“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

October 30, 1894: Henri Lioret was granted a U.S. patent (No.528,273) for a talking doll, which was eventually manufactured as the “Bebe Jumeau.” This was the first spring-driven talking doll using interchangeable cylinders (made of celluloid).

Thanks for sharing. I have to wonder how many of these were made compared to the Edison doll. The early patent drawings are really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
