Newspapers at the time criticized its industrial design and the fact that it could fall over. The 300 meter-tall tower was, at the time, the tallest structure in the world that changed the Paris skyline forever. Built by hand and early machines, it still towers over the Champ de Mars park today, serving as a reminder of the great party held there years earlier.Near the Eiffel Tower, the great Gallery of Machines showcased the era’s rapid technological advances and housed thousands of machines that whirred and banged at once. Thomas Edison was there with his phonograph, and Westinghouse air brakes were on display to highlight engineering innovations in the area of railroad safety.”Volume 2 delivers hundreds more restored illustrations that celebrate the spectacle of the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris.In addition to the Eiffel Tower, fairgoers in 1889 witnessed countless technological innovations, parties, and cultural exhibits at the Exposition Universelle that defied imagination at the time.
