The first Ferris Wheel rivaled the Eiffel Tower of Paris for wonder, beauty, and engineering genius at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Now this invention by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. gives a joyful thrill to children and children at heart in cities, fairgrounds, and carnivals all over the world.
The image originates from the Collection of Richard H. Driehaus and was displayed in our 2018-2019 Treasures from the White City: The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 exhibition.
