History / Description: The sculpture of cast iron shows a child with a young alligator on a boulder. The young alligator from its mouth spews the water, boldly held by the child with the hand. 
Special: In the 1860s, cast iron figures were very common and it is believed that the creators of these works were therefore not given too much attention.
