EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a scene from the Paris Exhibition of 1889, showcasing the innovative moving platform, or "tour de l'Eiffel," located near the iconic Eiffel Tower. The exhibition, held to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution, attracted millions of visitors from around the world and showcased the latest technological advancements. In this image, a crowd of people can be seen standing on the curved walkway of the moving platform, taking in the breathtaking views of the exhibition grounds below. The platform, designed by Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, offered visitors a unique perspective of the exhibition, allowing them to move slowly along the arc while enjoying panoramic vistas. The Eiffel Tower, the star attraction of the exhibition, can be seen in the background, towering over the other structures. The intricate lattice design of the tower is clearly visible, and its beauty and grandeur are on full display. The lantern slide captures the essence of the Paris Exhibition of 1889, a time of innovation, progress, and wonder. The lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, is a testament to the enduring allure of this historic event. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the excitement and awe that visitors felt as they explored the wonders of the Paris Exhibition of 1889.
