Edison Records was one of the early record labels that pioneered sound recording and reproduction and was an important player in the early recording industry. The first phonograph cylinders were manufactured in 1888, followed by Edison's foundation of the Edison Phonograph Company in the same year. The recorded wax cylinders, later replaced by Blue Amberol cylinders, and vertical-cut Diamond Discs, were manufactured by Edison's National Phonograph Company from 1896 on, reorganized as Thomas A. Edison, Inc. in 1911. Until 1910 the recordings did not carry the names of the artists. The company began to lag behind its rivals in the 1920s, both technically and in the popularity of its artists and halted production of recordings in 1929.

Great vintage Australasian budding dominions before the ANZAC troops emerged at Gallipoli in WWI .Is there a Maori man in the photo'?

Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes mikescottnz, it made sense for the New Zealanders to join the Australians as there were only a few of them. The men mostly wear the Australian blazer here and the two women were Australia's first two women swimming champions who won gold and silver at Stockholm, but for some reason have the NSW badge on their coats. Malcolm Champion,New Zealand's first gold medallist, was in the men's 4 x 200 metre freestyle with three Australians, so this team is very significant in the Olympic history of both countries.

Thanks for that , do you know which chap is Malcolm in this photograph?

The National Library has a photograph of the winning team at: nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an21171586 but they do not say whether Boardman is on the extreme left or right. See also: www.flickr.com/photos/statelibraryofnsw/3446366931/
