Carousel in Asbury Park, New Jersey

by John Margolies

Join the colorful spectacle of beach life from the mid-20th century with this fine art print depicting the famous carousel in Asbury Park, New Jersey, taken by the renowned architectural photographer John Margolies in 1978. In his landmark series of Roadside America, Margolies illustrated the fascinating designs of American leisure through photography. This highly detailed photo features the carved and painted horses with their ornate saddles, brass poles, and decorative trim set against the old-fashioned setting of the indoor carousel building. Reproduced in vivid color, this photo shows the full picture of the aged design and lively beach nostalgia.

It makes a lovely centerpiece for art collectors, history buffs of New Jersey, or enthusiasts of mid-century Americana decor.
