EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Eiffel Construction 2" takes us back to the early stages of one of the world's most iconic structures. Captured on the 8th of October in 1887 by photographer Theophile Feau, this image showcases the Eiffel Tower under construction in Paris, France. Part of a series of eleven prints documenting the tower's progress, Feau strategically positioned himself atop the Trocadero to capture these remarkable shots at fifteen-day intervals. In this particular frame, we witness an intricate web of steel beams rising towards the sky as Gustave Eiffel's vision begins to take shape. The monochromatic format adds a timeless quality to this portrait of Europe's architectural marvel. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights every detail with precision and elegance. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be awestruck by both its grandeur and meticulous craftsmanship. Henry Guttmann skillfully preserves this significant moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only Feau's artistry but also Eiffel's groundbreaking engineering feat. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and ambition—a reminder that even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be conquered with determination and innovation. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your own personal collection, "Eiffel Construction 2" offers an extraordinary glimpse into history—an enduring tribute to an architectural masterpiece that continues to inspire awe over a century
