A man and woman stand in front of a new collection of phonograph records donated in 1946 by Edith Neilson Hoyt in memory of her late husband, Ralph W. Hoyt. The woman appears to be standing on a stool, accessing a record of one of Mozart's sonatas from the top shelf, while the man, standing by and watching her, holds a copy of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." The collection of records consisted of Columbia and Victor recordings of all the great classical composers. At the top of the shelf is the sign 'Edith Neilson Hoyt Collection'.
