Yes the giraffes. Great image. I am in a Carousel club on another photo site, the site has all sorts of different groups you can join, wish Renderosity did something similar, but this group only showcases photos and artwork from carousels. They are some from all over the world. And they have a few of mine from the Tennessee area, such as some I've taken in Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville. The group so far has 201 members, and 409 images. here is a description that is listed on our groups home page, thought you might find it interesting to read. An early Byzantine etching from 500 AD portrayed riders swinging in baskets tied to a center pole and is the earliest known record of a carousel device. Skip forward to 1870 when an Englishman, Frederick Savage, applied steam power to carousels with sturdy platforms. The first up-and-down carousel that gave the animals their family galloping motion was a later improvement by Robert Tidman. Most carousels eventually began to showcase between two and five rows of elaborately carved wooden horses and various other menagerie animals. Highly decorative panels and trims were added to hide the carousel’s mechanics and provide a grander appearance. Eventually music such as a drum, organ, or bells was added. The public’s romance with carousels reached its height popularity from the late 1800’s to the mid-1920s.
Ah, those were the days :o)
You've hit a chord.....everyone has memories of carousels. My Grandmother operated the carousel at the New Brighton Tower ground.Spent many summer days just going round in circles.....what fun.
I sure did...I LOVED this ride...always my favorite
What a super carousel horse it looks so speedy. We only had one type here but I still loved to ride on it. A beautiful colourful capture.
My favorite was a hand carved, solid wood pinto with a black saddle. Wonderful photo and memories. Dana
