EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of "The Tower at Wembley" in its complete form, offering a striking comparison to the iconic Eiffel Tower. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and was originally published in The Graphic on April 14,1894. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition, we are transported back to a time when London and Paris were competing for architectural supremacy. The Tower at Wembley stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of competition that defined both cities during this era. With its intricate design and soaring height, it is evident that this tower was meant to rival its French counterpart. While still under construction in the photograph, one can imagine the awe-inspiring beauty it would possess once completed. The juxtaposition between these two magnificent structures symbolizes not only their physical rivalry but also their significance as symbols of national pride. Both towers represent more than just steel and iron; they stand as testaments to human ingenuity and ambition. Intriguingly enough, this image also hints at a tournament or championship taking place beneath these towering landmarks. It sparks our curiosity about what kind of competitions were held there – perhaps athletic events or cultural celebrations that further fueled the competitive spirit between nations. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images captures a moment frozen in time – an eternal reminder of London's determination to create something extraordinary that could rival even the most famous landmark
