EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with this stunning print of the iconic Attraction designed and built by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. The massive ferris wheel, known as the Chicago Wheel, stood tall with its iron frame and steam engine powering it to carry a whopping 1,440 people at its peak.
Imagine taking a ride in one of the thirty-six pendulum cars, each seating forty passengers as you overlook the bustling fairgrounds below. The sheer size and grandeur of this attraction must have been awe-inspiring for fairgoers during that time period.
The Columbian Exposition was a showcase of innovation and entertainment, drawing visitors from all over the world to marvel at the latest advancements. The Ferris Wheel was undoubtedly one of the main highlights, offering a bird's eye view of the entire fairgrounds and beyond.
This print captures a moment in history where technology and creativity intersected to create something truly remarkable. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come since then while also paying homage to those who dared to dream big and push boundaries in pursuit of greatness.
