On September 15, 1899, the Gramophone Company offered Mark Barraud £100 for a painting depictring his dog listening to a gramophone. The painting was purchased, and by the time of his death on August 29, 1924, Barraud had been commissioned by the Gramophone and Victor companies to make 24 copies of his painting. This made "Nipper" the dog the most famous dog in the world.
