巴里萬國大博覽會全景
Full View of the Paris Universal Exposition
A city packed with roofs and domes, looked down on from high above.
About this photo
Tallest of all is a slender iron tower standing left of center. It reaches more than halfway up the picture, and from its foot, roofs, towers and domed buildings crowd together to the left and right. The upper half is pale sky, above a long, wide panorama of the city.
"This is the Eiffel Tower, its height 300 meters." In these words, the album's caption gives the tower's name and height. The same caption says that the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition covered a total area of 1.08 million square meters, with the Champ de Mars as its main grounds. The tower itself had gone up earlier, for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889.
