EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting sight of The Great Wheel and the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, circa 1905. The image was taken from la rue Suffren, along the Seine River, providing a unique perspective of these two iconic landmarks. The Great Wheel, also known as the Grande Roue de Paris, was a temporary addition to the city for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) of 1900. The wheel, a popular form of entertainment and novelty amusement ride, stood at a height of 65 meters (213 feet) and offered visitors a breathtaking view of Paris from above. The Eiffel Tower, an engineering marvel, had been erected for the 1889 Exposition Universelle and had become an instant symbol of Parisian culture and French innovation. At 324 meters (1,063 feet) tall, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world at the time. The photograph showcases the vibrant energy of the fairground, with the Ferris wheel's colorful lights illuminating the night sky and the Eiffel Tower standing proudly in the background. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, a time of wonder and discovery, when Paris was the center of the world's attention. The Great Wheel and the Eiffel Tower continue to be enduring symbols of Parisian charm and the city's rich history. This photograph is a testament to the magic of Paris and the enduring allure of these two iconic structures.
