The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I saw this on eBay and thought it was an interesting photo. I figured folks here would be interested too. It appears to be a woman sitting next to her Edison Opera from someone’s personal collection. I don’t see too many old photos like this and to me it’s very interesting!

Very cool!

Love to see these vintage pictures, nice to own them but I'm satisfied with digital copies.

Here's the picture with the secret hidden color brought out:

Chuck

She has a great rack.
(cylinder)

Was this commercially available or made for this purpose by the customer or craftsman?

Hey Curt, great job on the colorizing the image. I used to do hand coloring but no longer. If you were to make a couple of those up and printed I would be interested in one.
Just PM me if that is an option.
