Portrait photographique dédicacé de Gustave Eiffel

Original signed photograph of Gustave Eiffel
London 1889 | mount: 28,7 x 38,4 cm – photograph: 18,3 x 27,4 cm | one photograph mounted
Original portrait of Gustave Eiffel, carbon print mounted with the stamp of the Walery studio.
Signed and inscribed by the engineer to lower right corner of mount: “Au Camarade Richard Souvenir du banquet du 22 Nbre [18]89 G. Eiffel” (To fellow comrade Richard Souvenir of the banquet from 22 November [18]89 G. Eiffel)
This striking portrait of the engineering legend was shot in the year of the tower's inauguration. Built on the occasion of the Paris Universal Exhibition, it was the tallest man-made structure at the time, towering 300 meters over the Parisian landscape. Eiffel is also responsible for designing the iron structure of the Statue of Liberty.
Another print of this portrait is kept at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
