"His Master's Voice" (HMV) is a well-known trademark in the music industry, especially associated with the sale of phonograph records and later, audio equipment. The image associated with the trademark features a dog named Nipper listening to a gramophone. The painting, titled "His Master's Voice," was created by English artist Francis Barraud.

The story behind the image is that Barraud's brother owned Nipper, a terrier, and after his brother passed away, Barraud noticed that Nipper would often listen attentively to the sound of a phonograph. This inspired Barraud to create the iconic image of Nipper with his ear tilted toward the horn of a gramophone. Barraud then approached various gramophone companies with the painting, and the rights were eventually acquired by the Gramophone Company, which later became part of EMI (Electric and Musical Industries).

The trademark became associated with various music-related products, including record labels, and it remains one of the most recognizable symbols in the music industry. The phrase "His Master's Voice" is often abbreviated as HMV, and it has been used by different companies over the years. The image of Nipper listening to the gramophone is a symbol of the fidelity and quality of sound associated with recorded music.
