EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial view captured by Terry Parker showcases the grandeur and innovation of the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1889. The iconic Eiffel Tower stands tall amidst a sea of pavilions, showcasing the architectural marvels and cultural diversity present at the exhibition. From this birds-eye perspective, one can truly appreciate the scale and intricacy of this historic event.
The cityscape below is bustling with activity, with chimneys billowing smoke into the air - a stark reminder of the industrial revolution that was sweeping through Europe during this time. Despite the beauty of the scene, there is an underlying sense of pollution and environmental impact that comes with progress.
As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when Paris was at the forefront of art, science, and industry. The Universal Exhibition served as a platform for nations to showcase their achievements and foster international cooperation.
Terry Parker's skillful composition captures not only the physical landscape but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what life was like in 1889. This print serves as a timeless reminder of human ingenuity and creativity that continues to inspire us today.
