  • Notes

  • Gramophone Model XI (Library Bijou), H.M.V., 1911. This curved-fronted aspidistra stand was still in stock in 1914 and is the last survivor of the first generation of cabinet models, with their unshielded square horns. An earlier flat-fronted version is known simply as Bijou.

    Original description from: “Fonografi e Grammofoni” by Christopher Proudfoot, Italian edition “Silvana Editoriale” 1980.

    Grammofono modello XI (Library Bijou), H.M.V., 1911. Questo supporto per aspidistra a parte centrale ricurva era ancora in catalogo  nel 1914 ed è l'ultimo sopravvissuto della prima generazione dei modelli a mobile, con le loro trombe quadrate non schermate. Una precedente versione a frontale piatto è conosciuta semplicemente come Bijou.
