Here's the renowned Orator Canon James Fleming reciting "The Charge of the Light Brigade" from a wax cylinder recording he made in 1907 the year before he passed away.
Canon James Fleming (1830–1908) was an Irish clergyman of the Church of England, known as a public speaker and fund-raiser. A canon of York Minster, he became chaplain in ordinary to Queen Victoria and Edward VII, and was a close friend of the British royal family.
Here's the 100 plus year old 78 rpm shellac Gramophone record I used for this recording playing on an a beautiful HMV 102 Portable wind up Gramophone which was a transcription from wax cylinder.
