Butterfly-Record (England) / c. 1912
Corporate background:
Masters from the Grammavox label (which ran
from 1910 to 1915, and was based in the Piccadilly area of
London) were sometimes used, according to UK music researcher
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt, who kindly supplied this label scan.
Design: A very
pretty and delicate design showing Art Nouveau influence in the
curvilinear border and the butterfly itself.
Despite the insistent claim of entirely
British manufacture, the label ‘shell’ is evidently
of German origin, judging by the quality of printing and the
style of lettering used for the label name (compare
similarities with the Jumbo label).
