Victor

316 records in the collection· mostly Harry Lauder, Original Dixieland Jazz Band, Zelie de Lussan

Victor was the leading American record marque of the Victor Talking Machine Company from the early twentieth century until RCA acquired the business in 1929, after which it became RCA Victor. Its 78s range from opera and classical stars such as Caruso to jazz, popular song and dance music, and the famous ‘His Master’s Voice’ trademark linked Victor closely with the British Gramophone Company.
