EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the base and first level of the iconic Eiffel Tower as it stood in the 1880s, during its early stages of construction in Paris, France. The image offers a unique perspective of the proposed tower, which was initially met with controversy and skepticism by many Parisians. Designed by the brilliant mind of Gustave Eiffel, the structure was intended to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and to showcase France's industrial prowess to the world. The photograph, taken in the late 1880s, reveals the intricate latticework of iron beams that form the tower's base and support its massive weight. The first level, visible in the image, was designed as a public observation deck, offering visitors a breathtaking view of the city below. The tower's distinctive four pillars can also be seen, each one anchored into the ground to provide stability and balance. Despite initial opposition, the Eiffel Tower quickly became a symbol of Parisian pride and a must-see attraction for travelers from around the world. Today, it remains an enduring testament to the ingenuity and vision of its creator, attracting millions of visitors each year. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the early evolution of this iconic landmark and appreciate the engineering marvel that it has become.
