Hello, I was sent the Pleasure Island site by a fellow carousel historian - what a great site! She used to go there - now, I can too, thanks to all of the images and documentation. I am sure the animals from the carousel survived and are now in collections, but I have never seen any images of the carousel as a unit. Do you know if copy prints are available from the Wakefield Historical Society? If so, you you have their address? The New England Carousels site comment that appears with the photo of Nick Davis on the carousel - this is another fellow carousel historian - Alan MacInnes. My interest is like his and yours - preserving the memories of....the large horse in the close up photo is the work of Daniel Muller. The rest of the horses showing appear to be (Charles) Carmel's. Where was this carousel before Pleasure Island? - right now, I can't find anything, but I am searching. Barbara Williams
