EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic Chicago World Fair of 1893, where history was made and imaginations were ignited. The centerpiece of this grand event was none other than the magnificent Ferris Wheel, a technological marvel that forever changed the landscape of amusement parks around the world. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era when people marveled at new inventions and embraced progress with open arms. The bustling crowd surrounding the Ferris Wheel is a testament to its allure, attracting visitors from all walks of life - European, American, men and women alike. The French popular science weekly La Science Illustree captured this momentous occasion in their 12th volume for all to admire. It serves as a reminder of how cultural exchange transcends borders and brings people together in celebration of human ingenuity. In this image, we witness not only a fairground ride but also a symbol of unity and curiosity. Tourists flocking from far and wide eagerly await their turn on this colossal wheel that offers breathtaking views over Chicago's skyline. Let us cherish this artistic representation as it encapsulates both history and innovation within its monochrome frame. It reminds us that even in our fast-paced modern world, there is still beauty to be found in looking back at our roots – where it all began at the Chicago World Fair of 1893.
