Description
1903 Brown 10" Berliner 78rpm record 5163 Rocked In The Cradle of the Deep - Mr Leo Stormont
Emma Willard wrote the lyrics to this song, on board the "Sully" during a voyage from France to America in July 1831. Her letter with the hymn and its history were published in the Southern Literary Messenger, Volume 1, Issue 10, June 1835, page 538. In 1839 Joseph Philip Knight visited America and for a year taught music in the school in Vermont run by Emma Willard. It was there that he wrote the music for this hymn. Starting in 1901, E. Berliner began to produce 10-inch discs that, in addition to having a longer playing time, were also of better quality than the smaller 7-inch discs. The earliest group of 10-inch discs in the Canadian Berliner series, manufactured by E. Berliner between 1901 and 1903, are labelled "Berliner Concert Grand". These discs are sometimes black, but more often brown or maroon, having a black label with a gold edge and gold lettering. Arcing across the top in block lettering are the words "Berliner Concert Grand". Below the semicircle formed by the label name are the words "Improved Gram-O-phone Record". Just above the spindle hole, which is protected by a brass grommet, are the words "Manufactured by", while to the left side of the hole is "E. Berliner" and on the right side "Montreal, Canada". Directly beneath the hole is the Canadian patent date ("Feb. 24, 1897") and below that the title and performer. At the bottom of the label is the Canadian issue number.
condition - very old and shows it's wear and crackles but plays through and you can clearly make out the song
