I bought this boy on a pony at a flea market. It really made me laugh because he looked so disgusted. Was it the smell of the pony he disliked? Did he think the photographer was annoying? Perhaps he had just seen the pony episode on Seinfeld? Okay, I can imagine this boy on a ship coming into New York Harbor, sailing by the Statue of Liberty...on his pony. This would end Seinfeld's claim that no immigrants arrived in this country aboard a pony. And this boy is disgusted that Seinfeld would ever make such a claim. The only actual information I have is the date of "March 1923" written on the back.

And for those who don't remember that scene in Seinfeld...

That's a wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteAnd that clip from Seinfeld is wonderful! Really need to rewatch that show!
Yes, everyone needs a dose of Seinfeld to get the spine tickled.
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching the Seinfeld "reunion" on Curb Your Enthusiasm and remembered this photo.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh, I had completely forgotten about that "non-pony" Seinfeld episode. Toooooo funny!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best tv moments.
ReplyDeleteI asked a co-worker once if she had watched last night's Seinfield. She laughed like that was a dumb question. Because of course she watched it. Along with everyone else.
ReplyDeleteSeinfeld was probably the best water-cooler show. I can only imagine how many people did Elaine's dance in their office the day after that episode.
