Alamphon (Middle East) / c. 1929
Corporate background:
The depiction of a pyramid, camel and palm
trees for the logo suggest the Middle East (Egypt?).
Label scan courtesy of U.K. musicologist
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt.
Design: The
layout has the same proportions as the 1928 Columbia label, with rounded fine-line corners to
the upper and lower segments (though very crudely drawn) and a
heavy weight of line for the label name.
The lettering for the label name has some
curvilinear characteristics which may be an attempt to reflect
the flowing lines of Arabic script used for the imprinting.
