EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the construction of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Taken in November 1888, just months before its grand opening to the public in May 1889, this image showcases the sheer magnitude and architectural brilliance of France's most famous building. Standing tall at an impressive height of 320.75 meters (including its TV antenna), the Eiffel Tower dominates the Parisian skyline with its intricate metallic structure. Designed by French engineer Gustave Eiffel for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, this towering monument has since become a symbol of both Paris and France itself. The photograph provides a sweeping panoramic view of the partially completed tower amidst ongoing construction works. It offers a glimpse into the dedication and craftsmanship that went into bringing this engineering marvel to life over 120 years ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate how it continues to inspire awe and wonder today. The Eiffel Tower stands as a testament to human ingenuity, serving as a reminder that even seemingly impossible dreams can be transformed into tangible reality through determination and vision. AFP's stunning print allows us to travel back in time, immersing ourselves in an era when one man's ambitious creation forever changed not only Paris but also our collective imagination.
