EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Au sommet de la tour Eiffel, La dernier coup de canon" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event at the top of the iconic Eiffel Tower. The image showcases a major achievement in engineering and construction as engineers gather around a cannon ready for its final shot. The composition beautifully captures the human element amidst this grand architectural marvel. We see individuals from different walks of life, united by their involvement in this historic moment. Their expressions reflect a mix of excitement, pride, and perhaps even some trepidation. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the significance of the tower itself - an emblematic symbol that has come to represent Paris and France as a whole. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for J. B Dumont's book "Les Grands Travaux Du Siecle" published by Hachette in 1891. Through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this artwork transports us to an era where engineering feats like the Eiffel Tower were celebrated with great enthusiasm. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a visual tribute to one of history's most remarkable structures. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been granted access to relish in this historical masterpiece that continues to inspire awe over a century later.
