EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness a remarkable moment as a group of distinguished individuals gather around a phonograph to listen to the voice of the late Cardinal Manning. The scene is filled with anticipation and curiosity, as each person leans in attentively, eager to hear the sound recording. Amongst those present are notable figures such as Lord Rowton, Cardinal Vaughan, Sir Charles Russell, and Monsignor Johnson. Even the American ambassador and Lady Mayoress have joined this unique gathering. It is an assembly that represents both high society and intellectual circles of the time. The engraving beautifully captures not only their fascination but also their reverence for Cardinal Manning's voice preserved through this groundbreaking technology. As they listen intently, one can almost imagine them being transported back in time by his words. The presence of sculptures and busts surrounding them adds an artistic touch to the composition, emphasizing their appreciation for art in all its forms. This print serves as a testament to how advancements in sound recording were seen not just as scientific achievements but also as cultural milestones. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our timeless human desire to connect with history and preserve voices long after they have faded away.
