EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the bustling construction site of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris during the year 1888. The Eiffel Tower, an engineering marvel of its time, began its construction in January 1887 under the direction of the visionary engineer Gustave Eiffel. This image captures the dedication and hard work of the workmen as they meticulously build parts of the tower, pulling up girders and positioning them into place using hand-held pulley cranes. The intricate process of erecting the iron lattice structure is on full display, with workers focused intently on their tasks. The Tower was built as the centerpiece for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair), which marked the centennial celebration of the French Revolution. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, perseverance, and craftsmanship of the builders of the Eiffel Tower, and serves as a reminder of the incredible feat of engineering that continues to stand as a symbol of Parisian pride and a global landmark.
