Wilcox Giraffe, outside row stander, circa 1980 Carver W.P. Wilcox was based in Orange County, California and taught most the Southern California carvers working today. This giraffe is a copy of a Philadephia Toboggan Company giraffe. It was painted by Marge Swenson. W.P. gave the giraffe to me so that the children who come visit my studio can pet it. After retiring as a wood carver, W.P. went on to become a gold prospector. Dentzel Carousel Company Horse, second row jumper, circa 1990 This horse is a fiberglass casting of a Dentzel jumper formerly on the Lagoon Carousel at Knott’s Berry Farm. She was cast by Ron Perkins of Ronart Glass and Animation, who made many of the decorative elements at Knott’s.

  • Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland
    Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland Glossary Astroland Park—This park opened at Coney Island in 1962, and was inspired by the space race. It closed in 2008. Bathhouse—With the development of Coney Island as a seaside destination and resort area, “sea bathing” was promoted for health as well as recreation—a much-needed activity for the crowded residents of Manhattan. In the 1860s and 1870s, several bathhouses at Coney Island were constructed for the purpose of changing clothes, renting bathing suits, and/or taking public showers. In urban areas, such as New York City in the late 19th century, bathhouses (or public places for washing up) were also scattered across the city as a health and hygiene effort due to crowded housing and shared bathrooms. Boardwalk—This is a wooden plank walkway typically constructed at the seashore or over a marshy area. The boardwalk on Coney Island was the main entrance to several amusement parks at Coney over the years and today hosts a variety of small restaurants. Brighton Beach—This is one of the beaches at Coney Island and is located at the south end of Brooklyn. Brighton Beach is named for the English seaside resort city of Brighton. The Brighton Beach resort, Coney Island, was built in 1868 and was one of several hotels available for tourists at Coney. Bowery—During the turn of the 20th century, the Bowery stretched from West 10th Street all the way to the Steeplechase Park entrance at West 16th.

Until now, historical and aesthetic links between the synagogue and the carousel have not been documented. But "Gilded Lions and Jeweled Horses: The Synagogue to the Carousel" at the American Folk Museum establishes the record. Jewish folk traditions and the skills formed within Eastern and Central European village environments are not staples of the folk repertory.
