1914 Advertising Columbia Life Magazine Logo Magazine Sound

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1914, when advertising was just beginning to shape the American consumer culture. The image showcases a vintage advertisement for the Columbia Graphophone Company, featured in Life magazine on October 8th of that year. The ad exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, with its sleek logo prominently displayed at the top. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of sound technology. In an era where phonographs were still relatively new, this advertisement sought to capture people's attention by highlighting the cutting-edge features and quality offered by Columbia Graphophones. The photograph itself is a testament to early American advertising techniques. Its simplicity allows viewers to focus solely on the product being promoted - a phonograph that undoubtedly brought joy and entertainment into countless homes across America during that time period. As we gaze upon this piece from The Granger Collection, located in New York City, it transports us back to an era where daily life was filled with excitement over technological advancements. This print not only captures a moment in history but also reminds us of our progress as a society when it comes to sound reproduction.
