EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the final day of the Exposition Universelle on November 6,1889. The iconic Eiffel Tower stands tall and proud, its intricate iron lattice reaching towards the heavens. But what makes this image truly unique is that it was taken from a tethered balloon, providing a rare aerial perspective of Paris. Cecil Victor Shadbolt, the talented photographer behind this masterpiece, perfectly captures the grandeur of both the tower and the city below. From above, we can see the bustling streets lined with elegant buildings and horse-drawn carriages. The architectural beauty of Paris is on full display as its historic landmarks blend seamlessly with modern structures. The completion of the Eiffel Tower in March 1889 marked a significant moment for France and became an enduring symbol of national pride. Its presence at the Exposition Universelle solidified its status as not just a remarkable engineering feat but also an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of how history has shaped our world heritage sites like no other force can. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us to cherish these cultural treasures that have stood against time's relentless march. The Cecil Victor Shadbolt collection offers us a glimpse into life during late Victorian times through his lantern slides dating from 1882-1892. This particular image transports us back to an era when photography was still in its infancy but had already begun
