…to remember when audio was this bad—or this miraculous. It’s an 1890 recording of Alfred Lord Tennyson reading his poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, made on an Edison wax cylinder. To my ear it’s nearly unintelligible—a striking example of the vast improvement made in audio reproduction over the last century or so.

(The recording is in an audio format called Ogg Vorbis, which will play natively in the Firefox, Chrome, or Opera web browsers or on special audio software.)
