The Dying Drunkard Automaton

This is an incredible piece located in The House on the Rock; a…shall we say, quite unique…coin operated tableau made in 1870.

Cannot type/talk due to severe illness (all words courtesy of voice software or kind typing helpers)…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond.

It’s so bizarre to visit this place. the house and original intent seem so lost in the amassed collections of absolutely everything.

I’ve been to House on the Rock and it is nothing less than spectacular. And very quirky. You’d probably think you were in heaven, from what I can tell from your tastes. You got me wanting to revisit. Thanks for such a great reminder for me and introduction to others.
