COVER
A horse carved by Charles Looff about 1912 in Riverside, Rhode
Island. This fine example of the Coney Island Style of carousel figure
carving illustrates the exuberance and dramatic force of this art
form. The horse is part of the Charlotte Dinger Collection of more
than one hundred and fifty figures which will be the featured exhibit
at the Brandywine River Museum Antiques Show on May 26-29, 1978.
This cover picture and the carousel article illustration are courtesy of
the Brandywine River Museum.
