public on the stage of the Prin-
cess Theatre in Bristol when
his master, who was a scenic
artist, took curtain calls. When
the artist died Nipper was
adopted by photographer
Francis Barraud, brother of
Barraud senior.

In the early 1890's Barraud
gave up photography and took
ye painting and moved to

London.

At the time he had recently
purchased an Edison cylinder

honograph and some record-
ings for his studio.
_ One day, he noticed Nipper
apparently listening intently to
a recording. Francis Barraud
thought that the dog had mis-
taken the scratchy voice on the
cylinder for that “of his dead
master. The artist took pencil
and paper and did a first sketch
and within a few days, he had
what he considered an appeal-
iny oil painting which he named.

lis Master's Voice.”

Unfortunately for Barraud_

his feelings were not shared
and he filed the picture with
his other unsold paintings.
Then i in September 1899, he
was passing the shop of the
Gramophone and Typewriter
Company when he, noticed a
phonograph in the window with
a shiny .brass horn and: billed

as the Im) roved Gramophone.

That set him‘to thinking that

* the trouble with his ‘painting

may have been the black horn
of the Edison phonograph.

On loan

He walked into the shop and
talked with. the: company's
general manager, William
Barry.Owen, Barraud explained
about his horn and asked to
borrow an Improved Gramo-
phone horn for a week or
two. As Nipper had died four
years earlier he merely painted
the Gramophone horn over
