Lucy The Elephant
“Lucy the Elephant Print” is a open edition, hand signed print,
reproduced from the original pencil drawing titled, “Lucy The Elephant”, by artist Nicholas Santoleri.
Lucy the Elephant, a National Historic Landmark in Margate, New Jersey, has just celebrated her 135th Birthday. Over the years, Lucy has been a summer home, a tavern, and now a perennial favorite attraction for shore visitors from all over South Jersey. From atop Lucy on her hawdah carriage, over 65 feet high, visitors have a spectacular view of the ocean and surrounding area.
Originally named “Elephant Bazaar”, Lucy the Elephant is a six-story elephant-shaped building constructed of wood and tin sheeting by James Lafferty south of Atlantic City, The U.S. Patent Office granted him a patent giving him the exclusive right to make, use or sell animal-shaped buildings for 17 years. Lafferty paid for the building of his first elephant-shaped building at South Atlantic City, now called Margate. Architect William Free designed the building and a Philadelphia contractor constructed it at a cost of between $25,000 – 38,000.
