EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Wiener Riesenrad, or Viennese Giant Wheel, located at the entrance of Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria. Erected in 1897 to commemorate Emperor Franz Josef I's Golden Jubilee, this Ferris wheel is a testament to the rich history and engineering innovation of the late 19th century. Designed by the English engineer Walter Basset, the Riesenrad stands as one of the earliest Ferris wheels in existence. With its grandeur and majesty, the wheel has become a symbol of Viennese culture and a must-see attraction for visitors to the city. The Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I marked a significant moment in Austrian history, and the Riesenrad serves as a lasting reminder of this important milestone. This photograph, with its intriguing composition and vibrant colors, invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of a bygone era.
