Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Lovely Day is a masterpiece of painterly animation art. Painstakingly rendered in the style of Hieronymus Bosch, the central character and accompanying putto-like figures evoke memories of a time when the pianola was the price of the parlour and partying involved an old fashioned knees up sing along.
