1919 Amberol Catalog

This cover is fascinating! But I've never been able to figure out what that blue stuff is on the floor!

I guess I should really dress in blue when I listen to my BAs, just like the guy on the cover? Do you think that would get me into the proper cylinder mood and enhance my enjoyment of the music?

Rocky,

If I had to guess, I'd say they're supposed to be the leaves from the bunch of flowers on the floor, that he brought his hugger.

Hi Bill,

The flowers on the curtain look like the same ones on the floor and the record on the front is Heart Breaking Baby Doll by Arthur Fields, 3801. I never noticed this before. I wonder if the phonograph is taking them to the opera as the area behind it looks very fancy.
