Yes, ditto to ‘Stuart’s adulation’ of “the reminescences” (would be he had ‘the Schmaltz-brew’ [that, by “caricature-of-caricature”—tho’ he no-longer looks “half-Irish”—comm. ‘my Grandfather’] in-hand). Hmmm, there’s some word that “some guy” is “reconstructing ‘Luna Park'”??? EdTillou

When I was at the Brooklyn museum, I saw a video of two comedians at Coney Island in the 1890s. Do you know where I can purchase this video. Much thanks Gary Saber

Hi Diane, The exhibition was on view in our Luce Visible Storage area from November 28, 2007 - April 6, 2008. There's more information about it on the website if you are curious.

I have a photo of my grandfather standing in front of Luna Park, unfortunately my scanner is down now but I’d love to include it. Luna Park from the stories I was told by my grandmother was a marvelous place, nothing like it in the world!!!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your comment. All the images in the slideshows are part of this small exhibition on Coney Island, with work from the collection.

Hi. I’m enjoying these Coney Island posts.

Are the photos in the slideshow part of the Museum’s collection? Can you tell us something about them? Thanks!
