The Eiffel Tower dominates this view of the Champ de Mars as seen from the River Seine, a vantage that places the iron lattice above the exposition halls and pavilions spread across the field below. Built for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, which marked the centennial of the French Revolution, the tower was designed by the engineering firm of Gustave Eiffel and was initially criticized by many Parisian artists and writers before becoming the fair's enduring emblem. The albumen print, made in the 1880s, captures the fair's scale and the new skyline it introduced to the city.
