This auction is for Berliner 7" record # 1057 One Sided RECORD The Last Rose of Summer - Miss Edith Helena Soprano vocal with piano American Miss Edith Helena made her start at 7 yrs old and ended up performing all over across Europe. 'Tis the Last Rose of Summer by Thomas Moore is a sad poem that has been very popular around the world for years. It is about getting older, and watching your friends and loved ones die around you until you are the last person left of your group. A popular Irish song.
Condition - this record is 116+ yrs old - shows it's age but plays thru and you can hear it all - label is very clean
Most of the discs in the 7-inch Berliner series were pressed in brown (red-brown) or maroon (dark brown) shellac. Both colors, as well as black discs, were manufactured until about 1903, when maroon and black discs ceased to be made.
Back of the record - Early on, a large HMV symbol was stamped on the reverse, with "Berliner" running across the top of the disc in an arc and "Gram-o-phone" across the bottom in large outlined letters. The two words were separated by asterisks on either side. This can be see on the item being sold, in the photos provided.
Front of the record - The most common type of label, which became almost the standard until 1904, was a sunken black or brown label with gold block lettering and edged with a gold circle. "Improved Berliner Gram-o-phone" was printed along the top of the label, in an arc from approximately 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock, and "Record" in the same script positioned just below. Directly above the hole in small letters were the words "Manufactured by" with "E. Berliner" and "Montreal Canada" on either side of the hole and the Canadian patent date immediately below. The hole itself was protected from wear by a brass spindle grommet. On the bottom portion of the label were printed the title, performer and Canadian issue number.
