About the image:

The Rotor at Battersea Funfair 1954. The National Fairground and Circus Archive describes the Rotor thus: A Rotating drum that pins riders to the wall through centripetal acceleration (centrifugal force). Originally built with extensive viewing galleries. The Rotor provided a good crossover between a ride and show, a novelty in that the public paid to see people ride it. A rider of the rotor recalls  ”I remember going on The Rotor at Battersea funfair and probably about 9/10 years old. Excited to tell my mates at school and explain it went really fast, then you got stuck to the wall when the floor disappeared. No one believed me!” photograph by Frank Rust from the Northcliffe Collection 

Product details

The printing:

C-type prints are notable for their continuous tone and vibrant colours. The first widely used colour print process, modern c-type prints are printed from high resolution digital files produced from drum-scanned negatives or transparencies.

C-type prints use dye-based photographic papers and should not be confused with inkjet, or giclée prints. Read more about C-type printing HERE.

The paper:

Fujicolor Crystal Archive Digitalpaper Type DP II is a silver halide color paper with a thicker base and high stiffness, designed exclusively for digital printing. When used on medium-or large-scale digital printer systems or the Fujifilm Frontier minilabs, this paper yields high-image-quality digital prints that make it suitable for such professional uses as portrait or commercial photography.
