"Folio Universale"

The base contains MARC records of horse related items as the foundation of the piece. The four legs each have the distinct alphabet to represent the foundation of the written word (Roman, Chinese, Phrygian, and computer code). The color of the horse is parchment, blue and gold. The body is covered in images of the University's special collections, including a manuscript with corrections of the book "Great Expectations." The saddle is real leather with tooling. The leather came from the scraps of the UIUC's 10,000 volume! The members of the "carousel horse committe" are proud to present a horse that has creat historical value.

The horse was donated to the Children's Department of the Urbana Free Library on behalf of the Erdman Family.
