The Lost Voice of Queen Victoria: the Search for the First Royal Recording

Paul Tritton

4.9/5 (16042 ratings)

Description:There is no real doubt that Britain’s longest-reigning monarch allowed her voice to be recorded. The man who made the recording freely discussed it and it is recalled in a letter in the Royal Archives, dated 1907; the incident also rates a passing mention (without a source attribution) in Elizabeth Longford’s exhaustive biography of the Queen, Victoria R.I. The question is what happened to the recording after it was made—and, in a broader sense, why it matters whether it still exists. The search for the recording takes us from the New Jersey laboratories of Thomas Edison to the Highlands of Scotland, and from the archives of the Rolls-Royce motor company to the vaults beneath London’s Science Museum.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
