EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the enchanting world of carousel animals in early 20th century Philadelphia. In this snapshot captured around 1915, we witness a moment frozen in time at the Dentzel Factory in Germantown. Leopold, an accomplished painter, is diligently immersed in his craft within the carousel animal workshop. The image showcases Leopold's artistic prowess as he meticulously applies natural colors to these magnificent creatures before giving them their signature sheen through varnishing. The monochromatic setting adds a touch of nostalgia and highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these whimsical figures that bring joy to countless carnival-goers. Amidst the historic backdrop, we see one mature man engrossed in his work with various tools scattered around him. His expertise transforms lifeless wooden forms into vibrant tigers and other majestic animals that will soon grace merry-go-rounds across North America. This horizontal composition invites us into a bygone era where entertainment was crafted by hand and imagination knew no bounds. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill required to create such timeless pieces of artistry. As we admire this vintage print from Underwood Archives, let our minds wander back to simpler times when carousels were magical realms for young and old alike – spinning tales of wonder with each turn.
