A Donkey Serenade?

Post by epigramophone »

This chap looks as though he may be a travelling busker using a gramophone.
I have enlarged the placard on the donkey cart but still cannot read it.

I can't read the placard but that's definitely a G & T "Cockleshell" Monarch he's got there. I wonder where that is now.

It could be the Edwardian equivalent of a youth racing around in a Corsa with his stereo booming ......

Donkey looks like he has been cared for pretty well. Cart looks like it's been maintained too.

Well turned out and the gramophone is a nice addition too.
