Before Glen Echo’s wonderful W. H. Dentzel carousel was delivered from Philadelphia in 1921, the park featured a large carousel created in Coney Island by W. F. Mangels with horses and chariots by M. C. Illions. This presentation will consider why each of the carousels was purchased, compare the regional styles of the two manufacturers, introduce the men who carved and built the two carousels, and show how W. H. Dentzel recycled elements from the Glen Echo Mangels carousel into a “new” carousel in 1922.

McCrocklin’s drawings and sculptures of ferns highlight the elegance and tenacity of these prehistoric plants, which she discovered in the thick undergrowth of Dumbarton Oaks Park in Washington, DC. Her pen and ink drawings call attention to the unique characteristics of these ferns by incorporating the blotted-line technique to capture the wild and whimsical charm of these ancient plants. Her two large sculptures unveil the grandeur and majestic presence of the ferns.  Each sculpture takes about six months to complete and is made to-scale from Dacron and copper wire and is sewn, cut, and painted, meticulously detailed.

For your health and safety, access to the exhibit will comply with CDC and local health guidelines due to COVID 19, which currently requires wearing face coverings in the gallery and a limit on the number of visitors at one time.
