[Phono-L] Phonographs in New Orleans

[John SHEETS]

I wonder if the photographs of E J Bellocq might show a phonograph in a
whorehouse interior? Not exactly what you are asking for, but there is a
compilation of the photographs...

Storyville portraits; photographs from the New Orleans red-light district,
circa 1912 [by] E. J. Bellocq. Reproduced from prints made by Lee
Friedlander. Pref. by Lee Friedlander. Edited by John Szarkowski
