As well as: The linked page has a bulleted list which cites the "Coffin" story as a false rumor.



Very frustrating! I swear I saw a picture somewhere years ago (before the internet) that clearly showed the coffin and now all I can find are pictures where it looks like it might be a coffin with every other sight stating that it is a coffin, the other sites stating the coffin was a false rumour. One sight mentioned he painted over a dozen versions of the Nipper painting while others claim the original showed an Edison Cylinder unit that when Edison was not interested in his painting he painted over the Cylinder unit with a Gramaphone unit in order to sell it to the Gramaphone company.
