Merry-Go-Round 1923

"Merry-Go-Round" is a 1923 print by American artist Thomas Schofield Handforth (1897-1948). Created using the etching technique, the print depicts a busy carousel with several horses and a central figure seemingly operating the ride. The artist's skilled use of line and shadow creates a sense of movement and energy, drawing the viewer into the lively scene. The print's composition and subject matter reflect Handforth's interest in capturing the everyday experiences of people, particularly in urban settings.
