Sound Recordings made for Visual Study, 1806 - 1886

Recorded sound had existed in the experimental work of scientists long before the time of practical playback, as can be seen in this brief collection of early recordings made between 1806 and 1886. A hand written date can be seen inscribed in most of these images. Disclaimer : I made an error upon identifying the medical researcher I called Angelo Russo, his name is actually Angelo Mosso (1846 - 1910)

These are really amazing! Thank you for uploading them. Really drives the point of the continuous research that was being had for decades before the first sound recordings were actually heard.

(EDIT) i forgot i had it saved in my files is the playback of the scanned norwegian tinfoil recording available online? the only thing i could find is a pdf about its scanning process.

There's no way there's one from 1806.
