In 1959, George Delacorte, a philanthropist, donated this bronze statue to Central Park. It is not exactly the tea party scene. It is called “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” The sculptor is Spanish born American artist José deCreeft.
Here are a couple of quotes from Lewis Carroll’s great work (1865):
“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
AND:
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road can take you there.”
Below is a quote from centralpark.com:
—–* “The design for the bronze sculpture was patterned after the original illustrations of John Tenniel that were used in the first published edition of the book. The obvious centerpiece of the work, Alice, who depicts the face of Creeft’s daughter, Donna, is pictured sitting on a giant mushroom reaching toward a pocket watch held by the White Rabbit.
Peering over her shoulder is the Cheshire Cat, surrounded by the Dormouse, Alice’s cat Dinah, and the Mad Hatter — a caricature of George Delacorte. ” (Central park.com)

In February 1969, New York City was hit by a major snowstorm. That month the Vietnam War was still raging, and the North Vietnamese army was attacking in the south. Pres. Nixon ordered the first of many troop withdrawals. The peace movement was strong in the city.
I went out to take some photos and found this message on the Upper East Side, near Fifth Avenue. The snow was still fresh, clean and beautiful. The fence surrounded a private park—it’s a very fancy neighborhood.
“Blowin’ in the Wind:” Written in 1962 by Bob Dylan when he was 21 years old. It was the most famous of the 1960’s protest songs. It was the title song for Peter, Paul and Mary’s 3rd album, and it was the most successful version—even more so than Dylan’s.
Flashdancers and all that jazz.
