Commanding by day, twinkling by night, the latticework wonder of the Eiffel Tower has mesmerized Francophiles and lovers, artists and dreamers for over 125 years. Based on an original, limited-edition folio by Gustave Eiffel himself, this book presents design drawings, on-site photographs, and historical documents to explore the making of a global architectural icon.
When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring 300 meters (984 feet).
