When Gustave Eiffel completed his wrought iron tower on Paris's Champ de Mars for the World's Fair in 1889, it stood as the world's tallest structure. Though later surpassed, the Eiffel Tower remains a mesmerizing fixture on the Parisian skyline. Originally intended for a 20-year permit, it became a permanent icon. This TASCHEN edition, based on an original folio by Gustave Eiffel, explores the concept and construction of this remarkable building.
