Thanks for the find, Steve. Very colorful shot. Simulated roundie images though. No way that bank of fluorescents would allow a 21AXP22 to display that black area on two of those 'operating' sets.

Yeah, comically obvious "simulation." :)

Hi,

I got it. Here is a larger scan of the postcard:

If somebody wants a high resolution scan (appr. 4 Megabytes) for poster reproducing or something else, please pm me.

Can anybody figure out what is on display to the right of the color TVs? One looks like a big toy bird in a display box.

What you're referring to (I think) looks like it's a Nipper tableau.

:scratch2: Yep - now it looks to me like a Victrola horn seen side on, hiding Nipper except for his front legs and head - I think

With that flying staff symbolism peaking at the statue, it looks more like :music: Le Coq d'Or :tresbon: than Nipper.
