A horseman in Central Park.
A dress with faces on it. Bergdorf window.
A mosaic with palm trees and skyscrapers.
East 60's.
A poster commemorating the Society of Illustrators Costume Ball 1922.
I'm sure Dr.Seuss had studied this artist.
Enlarge to see all the people who attended the ball.
People should have stashed their Christmas decorations by now.
Artificial poinsettias in June are not cheerful.
East 60's
I like the mosaic above Lowell 28. Did you ever look into the lobby of the Edison Hotel?
ReplyDeleteHow clever...love the Juillard set. Are those left over from Christmas, do you suppose - in the last photo?
ReplyDeleteJuilliard...must learn to spell.
ReplyDeleteGood idea: decorating for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBad idea: decorating for Christmas in June.
I thought at first that the dress with faces was an apron. Loved the mosaic.
Love the Society of Illustrators' Costume Ball commemorative poster from 1922. Definitely Seussian!
ReplyDeletelove the poster!
ReplyDeleteThose poinsettias are just Independence decorations. That's what my mother always told me.
ReplyDeleteOoo! Society of Illustrators poster. Nice! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Illustrator's Ball poster is fabulous!! And the fake poinsettias did make a nice photo.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about those Christmas decs, ewww!
ReplyDeleteThere's a horse rider in Union Square, too. I expect they are everywhere. Rather high up for Buster to appreciate! He is so funny today!
ReplyDeletePoinsettias in June are just WRONG.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you must be right about Dr. Seuss's inspiration. "If I Ran the Circus" was one of my childhood favorites.

ReplyDeleteI love your curiosities! And your compositions are divine.
