Timeworks Post Script Wall Art - Eiffel Tower Iron Work
A very long time ago, well before a simple "click" sent an image around te world, travelers took the time to write and send elegant and sophisticated postcards. From the elegance of the card itself, to the detail and color of the stamps and postmarks to the intimate and beautifully handwritten notes, postcards were an important form of expression.
This set of three reproduction postcards show the Eiffel Tower constructed for the 1889 World Fair, "La Tour Eiffel", designed by Gustave Eiffel, and was originally planned as a temporary structure - requiring "easy to assemble" iron pieces. The project consumed a huge percentage of France's steel output. When conpleted, Gustave Eiffel's "Tour" was hailed as an engineering marvel and a masterpiece of architectural design.
Postcards come in a set of three. Each image is framed with solid aged brass corners.
Size: 36" x 23"
