First Merry-Go-Round Built
-- The earliest known depiction of a carousel is in a Byzantine bas-relief dating to around 500 A.D., which depicts riders in baskets suspended from a central pole. The first carousel to be seen in the United States was created in Hessville, Ohio, located approximately 25 miles from Toledo, Ohio, on U.S. Route 20 during the 1840s by Franz Wiesenhoffer. The first steam-powered mechanical roundabout, invented by Thomas Bradshaw, appeared at the Aylsham Fair in about 1861.

Read: Art of the Carousel
-- Accompanied by over 400 color photographs, a guide to the art of the carousel, or merry-go-round, traces its development by describing style variations and identifiable features of carousel animals.

Vintage Carousel Wall Art
-- High-definition modern canvas printing artwork, photo printed on high-quality canvas with vivid colors. Perfect contemporary art paintings for bedroom, living room, kitchen, office, hotel, guest room, dining room, bathroom, bar, etc. The gallery canvas print is already perfectly wrapped and stretched with a wooden frame on the back. It comes with hooks for easy hanging.

Merry-Go-Round HO Scale Building Kit
-- Scale building kit or scenery item, not a toy. Designed for model builders and collectors. Highly detailed plastic. Scale models for use in dioramas or model railway layouts. It may require assembly.
