Taken from ground level, this view looks up at the Eiffel Tower's iron lattice while Parisians stroll past, a reminder that the structure drew crowds as well as criticism. Gustave Eiffel's company built the tower for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, which marked the centennial of the French Revolution, and it was the tallest structure in the world when it opened. The date in the record falls between 1887 and 1889, so the picture may show the tower during its construction years, though the caption details are not fully verified.
