Description:

The invention of the cylinder phonograph at the end of the nineteenth century opened up a new world for cultural research. Indeed, Edison's talking machine became one of the basic tools of anthropology. It equipped researchers with the means of preserving folk culture orally and enabled them to investigate a wide spectrum of distinct vocal expressions in the emerging fields of anthropology and folklore.
