Lyrophon (Germany) / c. 1912
Corporate background:
Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt.
Design: In
this pre-WWI label ornamental decoration makes an appearance
for the sake of visual appeal, as distinct from the earliest
labels that merely showed straight lines of typeset
information.
If the label name refers to the lyre, the
musical instrument, an illustration of an actual lyre might
have been more effective.
