SynopsisThirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower is an eminently giftable tribute to the greatest sight in the City of Light. A gorgeous re-creation of Henri Rivire's original 1902 volume offers a stunning view of turn-of-the-century Paris. Sometimes looming in the foreground, sometimes a tiny detail on the horizon, the tower is always present: piercing the sky above a teeming street scene; populated with daring construction workers far above the earth; and peacefully distant above a tranquil Seine. Published in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, this enchanting collection is sure to be cherished by Francophiles the world over.

  • Beautiful reprint of elegant 1902 publication, with English translation at back.

    Very handsome reprint of the original 1902 edition, with english translation of the French original introduction and view identification. Interesting that the Tour Eiffel was rather disparaged as a "spike" on the city's landscape at the time! { I recall reading that it was only saved from demolition in the early 1900's by convincing the Parisian authorities that it could be used as a radio beacon and watchtower as political tensions built in Europe prior to WWI.}
