The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I picked up a copy of "Edison and Music" at the Brimfield antiques fair yesterday. This is Edison's 1919 sales brochure for the new line of Diamond Discs phonographs. Each machine, including all the art models, has an nicely illustrated page. There is copy about Edison's role in promoting music, the tone tests, the famous artists on the Edison roster, etc.

If you haven't see it, this brochure is available online in several places. This one is in color and can be downloaded for free:

The Library of Congress has a PDF version, but it is in black and white.

I am considering making good color copies of the appropriate pages to display with the machines I own.

If anyone would be interested in a high quality reprint, please let me know via PM. If there is enough interest, I'll look into it.

I have an original of this. There was also an identical updated version - same pics, just updated prices which look the same also published the next year in 1920.
