After Dinner Toast at Little Menlo
()
Arthur Sullivan
W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) and Arthur Sullivan (1842–1900) were theatrical collaborators during the nineteenth century. Prior to their partnership, Gilbert wrote and illustrated stories as a child, eventually developing his signature “topsy-turvy" style. Sullivan was raised in a musical family where he learned to play multiple instruments at an early age. Together, their talents would help produce a successful series of comic operas. Some notable titles include The Pirates of Penzance, The Sorcerer, H.M.S. Pinafore, and The Mikado.

Transcript of Arthur Sullivan's message to Edison upon introduction to the phonograph:
...For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the result of this evening's experiment--astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever. But
