Description
Painted photograph of a carousel at Quechee VT. In the United States, the carousel industry was developed by immigrants, notably Gustav Dentzel of Germany and Dare from England, from the late 19th century. Several centers and styles for the construction of carousels emerged in the United States: Coney Island style characterized by elaborate, and sometimes faux-jeweled, saddles with Charles I. D. Looff; Philadelphia style known for more realistically painted saddles with Dentzel and the Philadelphia Toboggan Company; and Country Fair style often with no saddles at all with Allan Herschell and Edward Spillman of western New York, and Charles W. Parker of Kansas. The golden age of the carousel in America was the early 20th century, with large machines and elaborate animals, chariots, and decorations being built.
