Description

Carousel with four wooden and painted metal horses, three with pedals, one with rack, the structure in green lacquered metal. Late 19th century. D. 150 cm. Saddles and saddle cloth. (wear and minor damage). As soon as the pedal crank was invented in 1861, velocipedes were integrated into carrousels, enabling a large number of people to try out this new means of locomotion. A real thrill ride, pedal-powered merry-go-rounds were hugely popular for their unprecedented sense of speed: some were faster than a galloping horse!
