I love this mosaic and have admired it for many years. But I can’t see any obvious link to the Victor company, whose logo appears to have been the HMV listening dog. What makes you think that this is a definite link? I had always assumed that the mosaic was once attached to a long defunct club or restaurant, although the more natural terminology might have been ‘Victor’s’ in that case.

In reply to KTrout. Hiya, So glad you like the images. It's a beautiful mosaic. I put a call out on Twitter and then googled the Victor Talking Machine Company - it has a wiki page as it turns out.
