Step right up and feast your eyes on this snapshot of carousel maintenance in progress at Portlands Merry-Go-Round, circa early 1930s. The air is filled with the sweet scent of fresh paint and the gentle hum of anticipation as workmen meticulously retouch the horses' vibrant coats in preparation for the forthcoming Easter funfair. The merry-go-round, a beloved fixture of fairground entertainment, stands proudly in the background, its colorful canopy a testament to the joy and wonder it has brought to generations of fairgoers. The horses, with their intricately detailed saddles and bridles, gleam under the skilled hands of the workers, who carefully apply layer upon layer of paint to restore their former brilliance. This image offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of carousel maintenance, a labor-intensive and painstaking process that ensured the rides remained in top condition for the delight of countless visitors. As the Easter funfair approaches, the sense of excitement builds, and the anticipation of the thrills and memories to be made is palpable. The rich history of this merry-go-round, with its horses expertly painted and meticulously maintained, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional fairground rides and the joy they bring to people of all ages. This photograph, a precious piece of history, invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of the fairground in a bygone era.
