EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1889, an international exhibition held in Paris to showcase the latest technological innovations. At the heart of the event was the newly constructed Eiffel Tower, an engineering marvel that stood as a symbol of France's industrial prowess. In this image, we see a close-up view of the machinery that raised the elevator cars up the tower's legs. The intricate network of gears and pulleys is a testament to the ingenuity of the time, with a man in period attire standing beside the large wheel that powered the elevator's ascent. The man, likely an engineer or worker, adds a sense of scale and human connection to the machinery. The Paris Exposition also featured a significant display of aeronautics, with hot air balloons and early aircraft taking to the skies. This focus on flight is reflected in the background of the photograph, where we can see a hot air balloon tethered to the ground. The date of this photograph is estimated to be between 1887 and 1889, making it an important document of a pivotal moment in history when the world came together to celebrate human achievement and innovation. This image is a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of engineering, technology, or the Paris Exposition Universelle.
