Previous Page: Francis Barraud applied the changes as requested, and was paid £100 for the painting and copyrights. In January 1900, the Nipper painting made it's very first and foremost public appearance in advertisements for the Gramophone Company. As time went on the company began to experiment with recording songs on both side of the disc, which was made available to the public at the beginning of 1908. That famous painting of "His Master's Voice" was one of the world's most cherished and best-loved trademarks. Nipper, the little fox terrier that sat listening to the gramophone with an intellectual and a somewhat mystified look. Considering that Nipper once a stray dog found and cared for by Mark Barraud. I bet he would have been considerably delighted and be filled with emotion. It's shame he was not alive to see the results of the dog who became famous as a trademark that would be recognized throughout the music recording industry that became a successful marketable icon worldwide. The Nipper portrait was first presented as a dog listening to a cylindral shaped machine with a black horn, this painting which was the one that Francis Barraud first sort to get copyrights for on February 1899 entitled the "Dog looking and listening to a Phonograph". |
