The front of the sleeve features an Art Deco inspired illustration in silhouette of a striding bellboy holding a record in each hand; the back has advertisements for pianos sold by Wiggs, particularly Challen pianos as used by the BBC. The record, manufactured by the Vocalion Gramophone Co. Ltd., features the tunes 'In a Monastery Garden' and 'In a Persian Market', both played by Herbert Griffiths on the Stoll Picture Theatre Organ. Originally owned by the donor's maternal uncle, Valentine McFadden. About 1930s.
