1889 Cirque Fair Ground Fairs Ferris Rides Wheel


EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time with this stunning photograph of Le Big Wheel, or Ferris Wheel, at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. This historic image, captured by an anonymous photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, as people of all ages and social classes eagerly await their turn to ascend the colossal Ferris Wheel. The Exposition Universelle, also known as the World's Fair, marked the centennial celebration of the French Revolution and was held from May to November in 1889. The event attracted millions of visitors from around the world, who came to marvel at the latest technological innovations, cultural displays, and architectural wonders. The Ferris Wheel, invented by American engineer George Ferris, was one of the main attractions of the fair. Standing at an impressive 80 meters tall, it was the tallest Ferris Wheel ever built at the time and could accommodate up to 60 passengers in its 36 gondolas. The ride offered an unparalleled view of the entire fairgrounds and the city of Paris, making it a must-do experience for visitors. This photograph beautifully captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd below, as they watch the Ferris Wheel in action. The intricate details of the gondolas, the vibrant colors of the fairgrounds, and the elegant architecture of the Eiffel Tower in the background all contribute to a rich and immersive historical tableau. As we marvel at this photograph, we are reminded of the power of human ingenuity and the enduring allure of the fairground experience. Let this image transport you to a bygone era, where wonder and discovery awaited around every corner.
