From the 1870s until the late 1920s. immigrant European wood carvers came to the US with their most prized possessions - their carving tools.
Using fine hardwood, these craftsmen created animals that dazzled carousel riders from the city parks the country fairs
Three distinct styles of carving evolved: The Philadelphia style or large, elegantly-carved realistic animals, the Coney Island style of wild-looking animals for amusement parks, and the Country Fair style of smaller, more portable figures.
The figures in this exhibit represent the Philadelphia and Coney Osland styles.
