EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, captured in 1883, takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Coney Island during a summer day. The scene unfolds at a merry-go-round, where people from all walks of life come together to indulge in the simple pleasures of amusement. In this snapshot of daily life, we see men with their distinguished moustaches and hats, eagerly awaiting their turn on the carousel's ornate wooden horses. Women dressed in fashionable attire chat animatedly while clutching their parasols to shield themselves from the sun's rays. A barker stands nearby, enticing passersby with promises of excitement and adventure. The carousel itself is a work of art; its intricately carved giraffes and lions transport riders into an enchanting world as they spin round and round. Children can be seen riding atop these majestic creatures with wide smiles plastered across their faces. Amidst all the commotion, a young girl catches our attention as she clings tightly onto her chicken-shaped ride. Her eyes sparkle with delight as she experiences the thrill that only Coney Island can offer. This wood engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have sought solace in moments of recreation and joy amidst bustling cityscapes like New York City's iconic Coney Island.
