In Liverpool, there was a painter called Francis Barraud. His brother’s name was Mark who had a pet terrier dog called Nipper. Mark expired. Francis got his old cylinder gramophone player and the dog. When the gramophone was played, the dog came running to listen to the records, confused as it was about the source of the sound. Francis painted the scene and called it His Master’s Voice. The Gramophone Company purchased this painting in 1899 for 100 pounds. Soon the logo picked up, and the Gramophone Company changed its name to HMV. Nipper was immortalised with his blue plaque in London in 2014.
