His Masters Breath - Satire
His Masters Breath Satirical play on the dog/gramophone logo for His Masters Voice, substituting the music player for a whiskey jar and funnel. Artist Francis Barraud (1856-1924) painted his brothers dog Nipper listening to the horn of an early phonograph during the winter of 1898. Victor Talking Machine Company began using the symbol in 1900, and Nipper joined the RCA family in 1929. Date: 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
His Master's Breath: A Canine Caper with a Twist of Whimsy! In this satirical take on the iconic image of Nipper the dog listening intently to the horn of an early phonograph, artist Francis Barraud presents a humorous and imaginative alternative to the classic His Master's Voice logo. Instead of the music player, we find Nipper's eager snout replacing the gramophone's horn, as he takes a hearty drink from a whiskey jar through a funnel. The playful terrier seems to be relishing the rich, aromatic fumes rising from the jar, adding an extra layer of humor to the scene. This delightful painting, created in 1907, predates the commercial use of the His Master's Voice logo by several years. The image exudes a jolly and lighthearted atmosphere, inviting viewers to appreciate the absurdity and whimsy of the situation. The small, mischievous dog's drunken expression and the silly setup of the whiskey jar and funnel are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The use of imagery such as the jack Russell terrier's comic appearance, the trick of substituting a music player for a whiskey jar, and the comedic imagery of a dog drinking through a funnel all contribute to the overall playful and humorous nature of this painting. Whether you're a fan of dogs, humor, or simply appreciate a good visual joke, this charming painting is sure to leave you with a jolly feeling!
