OTHER INFO OF CONCERN FOR THIS LISTING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS: Menpehtyre Ramesses I(orRamses) was the foundingpharaohofancient Egypt\'s19th Dynasty. The dates for his short reign are not completely known but the timeline of late1292–1290 BCis frequently citedas well as1295–1294 BC.While Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty, his brief reign mainly serves to mark the transition between the reign ofHoremheb, who had stabilized Egypt in the late 18th Dynasty, and the rule of the powerful pharaohs of his own dynasty, in particular his sonSeti I, and grandsonRamesses II.

According toConstantinides, the town of Yenidje (also Yenice), which is in Greece (and down valley from the town of Xanthi) was destroyed during the mid 19th century. All of Yenidje\'s tobacco growers moved up the valley, and began tobacco production along the mountain slopes (\"yaka\", in the Turkish language) surrounding Xanthi. By the early 20th century, all \"Yenidje\" tobacco was grown in the yaka fields of Xanthi. [Although tobacco is today again growing in the soggy river bottom surrounding the town of Yenidje, it is said to be significantly inferior to the tobacco of Xanthi.]

Turkish tobaccois a small-leafed variety oftobacco. Its plants usually have a greater number and smaller size leaves than American tobacco, and are typically sun-cured. These differences can be attributed to climate, soil, cultivation and treatment methods. Historically, it was cultivated primarily inThraceandMacedonia, now divided amongBulgaria,Greece,North MacedoniaandTurkey, but it is now also grown on theBlack Seacoast of Turkey, inEgypt, inSouth Africaand elsewhere.

The name \"Turkish\" refers to theOttoman Empire, which ruled the historic production areas until the late 19th/early 20th century. The termOriental tobaccohas also been used for the leaf.

TheVictor Talking Machine Companywas an American recording company andphonographmanufacturer, incorporated in 1901. Victor was an independent enterprise until 1929 when it was purchased by theRadio Corporation of America(RCA) and became theRCA VictorDivision of the Radio Corporation of America until late 1968, when it was renamedRCA Records.

Established inCamden, New Jersey, Victor was the largest and most prestigious firm of its kind in the world, best known for its use of the iconic \"His Master\'s Voice\" trademark, the design, production and marketing of the popular \"Victrola\" line of phonographs and the company\'s extensive catalog of operatic and classical music recordings by world famous artists on the prestigiousRed Seallabel. After Victor merged with RCA in 1929, the company maintained its eminence as America\'s foremost producer of records and phonographs until the 1960s.

In 1896,Emile Berliner, the inventor of thegramophoneand disc record, contracted machinistEldridge R. Johnsonto manufacture his inventions.

There are different accounts as to how the \"Victor\" name came about. RCA historian Fred Barnumgives various possible origins of the name in\"His Master\'s Voice\" In America, he writes, \"One story claims that Johnson considered his first improved Gramophone to be both a scientific and business \'victory.\' A second account is that Johnson emerged as the \'Victor\' from the lengthy and costly patent litigations involving Berliner and Frank Seaman\'sZonophone. A third story is that Johnson\'s partner,Leon Douglass, derived the word from his wife\'s name \'Victoria.\' Finally, a fourth story is that Johnson took the name from the popular \'Victor\' bicycle, which he had admired for its superior engineering. Of these four accounts, the first two are the most generally accepted.\"[The first use of the Victor name was on a letterhead, dated March 28, 1901.

Herbert Rose Barraud\'s deceased brother, a London photographer, willed him his estate, including his DC-powered Edison-Bell cylinder phonograph with a case of cylinders and his dog, namedNipper. Barraud\'s original painting depicts Nipper staring intently into the horn of an Edison-Bell while both sit on a polished wooden surface. The horn on the Edison-Bell machine was black and after a failed attempt at selling the painting to a cylinder record supplier of Edison Phonographs in the UK, a friend of Barraud\'s suggested that the painting could be brightened up (and possibly made more marketable) by substituting one of the brass-belled horns on display in the window at the new gramophone shop onMaiden Lane. TheGramophone Companyin London was founded and managed by an American, William Barry Owen. Barraud paid a visit with a photograph of the painting and asked to borrow a horn. Owen gave Barraud an entire gramophone and asked him to paint it into the picture, offering to buy the result. On close inspection of the painting, the contours of the Edison-Bell phonograph are visible beneath the paint of the gramophone.

In 1915, the \"His Master\'s Voice\" logo was rendered in immense circular leaded-glass windows in the tower of theVictrola cabinet buildingat Victor\'s headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. The building still stands today with replica windows installed duringRCA\'s ownership of the plant in its later years. Today, one of the original windows is located at the Smithsonian museum in Washington, D.C.

De Luxe Special 14-inch records were briefly marketed in 1903–1904. In 1905, all labels and sizes were consolidated into the Victor imprint.
