EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic Eiffel Tower in 1889, during the time of its construction. The focus of this image is an impressive Otis elevator car, showcasing the remarkable engineering feat behind this architectural wonder. As we gaze at the photograph, our eyes are drawn to one leg of the tower where the elevator is situated. The intricate details become apparent as we observe various components: a hydraulic cylinder (1) that powers the movement of the elevator, travelling multiplying pulleys (2) which assist in lifting and lowering, stationary multiplying pulleys (3) for stability, a landing platform (4) where passengers embark and disembark, an ascending car (5), and cables (6) that connect it all together. The wood engraving technique used to capture this moment adds a touch of nostalgia to the image. It reminds us of a bygone era when craftsmanship was highly valued in both architecture and mechanical engineering. This print not only showcases technical prowess but also highlights France's rich history in civil engineering. It serves as a testament to Gustave Eiffel's vision and his collaboration with Otis Elevator Company. Whether you're fascinated by elevators or simply captivated by historical landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, this print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in human ingenuity.
