Soon many of us started seeing posts on WhatsApp, Facebook and elsewhere about this song, saying that this was recorded in 1883!
That number 1833 is NOT the year of the recording, in fact the date/year was not written on the 78s until the late sixties.

In fact, there is a hint about the year in the words, Electric Sound System, at the bottom. Before 1925 was the Acoustic Era where the artists spoke or sang into the acoustic horn familiar from old gramophone machines. After that they used a microphone.
Knowledgeable people tell me that Miss Sheela sang in the late 30s or early 40.
