One would assume the photo was taken in NYC (just) before the release of the album in March '68, during that winter of '67/'68. If you could get access to NYC store records dating back to then you could work out the exact street, (I've had a quick search to no avail). The sign on the right says; JJ ENRIGHT TENTS COTS BLANKETS 2nd FLOOR A teddy bear? Could be - it looks like one of those furry hot water bottles albeit a tad on the large side; though what would that round knobularesque cylindrical thang be protruding? Curiouser and curiouser. As for the maternity clothes - I see what you mean here too; tho' wasn't she pregnant in '64? This would mean the photo was taken long before the release of the album, which of course is possible. Have a great weekend! Willy the Shake
