200 The Eiffel Tower, limited edition of 500 copies

The Eiffel Tower
"The most beautiful Parisian. A superb homage to the architect and his creation." -
Francetoday.com, Paris

When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring
300 meters (984 feet). Built for the World's Fair, it was initially granted a 20-year permit; this permit
was thankfully extended and now the Eiffel Tower is one of the world's most famous structures,
having become practically synonymous with Paris itself and receiving more than six million visitors
annually.

This reprint explores the design and construction of this remarkable
building; published in 1900 as a large folio by Gustave Eiffel himself in a
limited edition of 500 copies, the original was never sold on the
market—it was exclusively given and donated by Eiffel. Featuring 53
double-page plates of 4,300 technical drawings explaining the design as well as 33 photographs of
the construction, the book reveals the complex and fascinating process of bringing the Eiffel Tower
to life. Though the technical drawing will especially appeal to designers wishing to discover the
engineering genius behind Eiffel's masterpiece, everyone can appreciate this very rare and special
book about Paris's glorious mascot.

"This book illustrates the truly remarkable engineering that is the Eiffel Tower and whilst appealing to
enthusiasts, can be appreciated by everyone."
