Electrical Department, Luna Park, 1910

Electrical Department, Luna Park, 1910
The caption on this photo tells us that these fellows worked in the Electrical Department at Luna Park in 1910. But was it the original Luna Park at Coney Island?

And what location in the park did they choose for their photo? Looks like they may be sitting on a flume or water-chute, and there's a water wheel behind them, so perhaps it's some kind of water ride.

Mouse over the image above for a closer view of the men.

Such an interesting shot. They look pretty happy, considering their hard work. (Well, some more than others). I also wonder about their attire; 5 in overalls, two in button-up shirts and trousers. Labors vs. management? Or just a coincidence. With all of their sleeves rolled up, I'll bet it was a hot day.

This photo absolutely encapsulates my fascination with posed group photos. For some reason, that group on that day was important to them. We will never know why, but the important thing is that they wanted to be remembered - and they have been.
