EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures two different views of the construction of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris. Taken on 10th April and 10th May 1888 by a talented French photographer from the 19th century, this historical image is now housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The photograph showcases the remarkable architectural feat undertaken by Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923) for the Universal Exhibition of 1889. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes evident that this structure was not built overnight; instead, it required meticulous planning and hard work to bring it to life. The picture offers a glimpse into a bustling building site with scaffolding reaching towards the sky. It portrays an extraordinary blend of engineering brilliance and industrial revolution as workers progress in constructing this magnificent iron tower. The view also encompasses Ecole Militaire, adding depth to the urban landscape captured within. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It symbolizes both architectural progression and development while showcasing Parisian craftsmanship at its finest. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early stages of construction. Bridgeman Images has preserved this invaluable piece of history for all to appreciate - an enduring reminder that even monumental landmarks like the Eiffel Tower were once works in progress themselves.
