Home > Gramophone Company

 
The Gramophone Company based in the United Kingdom was one of the early recording companies. It later became the HMV (His Master's Voice) company. An icon of the company was to become very well known - the picture of a dog listening to an early gramophone painted by Francis Barraud .

The Gramophone Company was founded by William Barry Owen and his partner/investor Trevor Williams in 1898 as the U.K. partner of Emile Berliner's United States based Berliner Gramophone (until 1901) and then the Victor Talking Machine Company.

In December of 1900 William Owen gained the manufacturing rights for the Lambert Typewriter Company and The Gramophone Company is renamed to The Gramophone & Typewriter Company, and then in 1910 His Master's Voice.

For later histor of the company, see HMV.
