Merrifield, VA, used to be a rural area. Then urban creep took over. But for years, there was a hold-out farmhouse with a bunch of outbuildings. It also had a sculpture or something of the painting you show above. I think it must have been about ten feet tall, because it was back from the road but easily visible. That whole property was taken over by townhouses. 😦 I sure hope somebody preserved the dog and record player!
I was at the HMV store on Oxford Street in London as recent as a year ago, come March. Absolutely huge place. Sad that it’s been destined to keep the Dodo company. On the up side, though, now the Dodo will never run out of listening material.
