For anyone who has not seen the video of their living carousel, it is fantastic and a must see. Wade posted it on November 11, and I am moved to tears every time I watch it. It is one of the videos that I showed to my daughter and granddaughter, and for them it was reminiscent of a magnificent corps de ballet. I did not know that the darling little boy was the grandson of the Knies; I thought he was their son.

Mary Ann,
I am sorry I didn't see your question, but I guess John cleared it up for you. I think this is a beautiful picture of Geraldine with the profile of a baroque horse.
