Condition: Very Good
Seller's Comments: Would be Like New if not for faded glue residue and light surface scratches on front cover. Subtitled: A Century of Master Craftsmanship.
Full Description:
From the back cover: The Great American Carousel, illustrated with over 125 photographs, including more than 75 in full-color, pays tribute to the spectacular wooden animals of the merry-go-round and the master carvers who gave them life.
Complete with a list of where to ride old carousels today, The Great American Carousel captures the mystique of the painted ponies for anyone who ever felt the magic in the ride.
My Comments: For anyone who loves, or even likes carousels, this coffee-table book is a delight! The lives and struggles of the early carvers is documented and their amazing talent is detailed in photo after photo. One example: "The eyes of a Zalar horse always have a certain sadness to them, perhaps a reflection of the carver's hard life." |
