Salon Du Phonographe 30, BD Des Italiens Paris ℞. Les Disques Pathe chantent sans aiguille Cu-Ni 22.7mm

The Fair phonograph, an early phonograph / gramophone listening parlour, was opened by the Pathé brothers in 1894. The reverse translates in English: "The Pathé records reproduce the sound without a needle." The company "Pathé Frères" was founded in 1896 by the brothers Emile and Charles Pathé.
