EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and excitement of The Great Wheel during the Empire of India Exhibition held at Earls Court, London, in 1895. The Great Wheel, a marvel of engineering and innovation, was constructed between March 1894 and July 1895 at the works of Maudslay, Sons and Field in Greenwich. This historic structure marked a significant cultural milestone in the late 19th century, showcasing the wonders of India and its rich heritage to the British public. The Great Wheel, standing tall against the backdrop of the exhibition grounds, was a popular attraction for tourists and travelers alike. The vintage image, captured on an albumen or collodion print, transports us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The intricate details of the wheel's design, the thrill of the ride, and the sense of adventure are all beautifully preserved in this photograph. The Empire of India Exhibition was a celebration of India's cultural and historical significance to the British Empire. The Great Wheel, with its impressive height and daring rides, became a symbol of the excitement and curiosity that surrounded the exhibition. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of history and the power of images to transport us to another time and place.
