"Unveiling the Artistry of Record Discs: A Journey Through Time" Step into the world of record discs, where history and art intertwine to create a captivating narrative. An Italian automotive triumph captured in a vibrant colour litho, showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of an era long gone. The album cover for Yvette Guilbert, 1894, a lithograph on gray-brown wove paper laid down on board, evokes nostalgia for a bygone musical era. Traveling through time, we encounter the members of the Jury of the Grand Prix du Disque in 1933 through a captivating black-and-white photograph. But it's not just music that finds its place among these records; school reports from various institutions across England provide glimpses into educational systems past. From Hackney Downs School in London to Westborough School in Southend-on-Sea and Dorchester Grammar School in Dorset, these lithographs tell tales of academic achievements and aspirations. Kings College School on Wimbledon Common takes us back to 1914 with another beautifully preserved report card. Bear Wood Boys School in Berkshire reveals insights into education during 1924 while Harwich School's report from Essex offers yet another perspective from 1918. Ipswich Municipal Secondary School for Boys presents us with their own lithographic account from Suffolk in 1922. But amidst all this documentation lies Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Disque; Disk; Wurfscheibe - an engraving that reminds us how language transcends time and borders as it explores different cultures' interpretation of "disc. " And finally, we encounter Ra - ancient Egyptian god of the sun - immortalized forever through an enchanting engraving. As we reflect upon this eclectic collection spanning decades and continents, let us celebrate record discs as more than mere objects but rather as vessels carrying stories waiting to be discovered by those who dare to listen closely.
