What a totally cool piece! And it is now in the collection where it properly belongs. It is interesting to note that Nero the dog is missing, as is the "Molasses candy lady", yet the cupola is present on the middle building and the chimney on the rear building is tall, yet this was most certainly engraved before your book was researched and published. Congratulations on a very nice acquisition.
