Elaborate and Attributed to Georges Carette. Steam driven. The steam engine engages a clever reduction drive to move the Ferris Wheel at a proper speed, turning the six canopied gondolas round and round. Eleven hand painted seated figures in the gondolas. Ten metal flags in place, four missing. Circa 1903. Paint flaking on some of the structural posts.
