Description

Eiffel presents a rare portrait to an American elementary school

French engineer (1832–1923) best remembered for designing the tower that bears his name. Rare original 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Eiffel in profile, by Touranchet Photography of Paris, signed and inscribed in black ink “To the eleventh Street Grammar School offered by G. Eiffel.” Missing top left corner tip, a single tack hole to remaining corner tips, scattered light tacky residue to image and reverse, a few trivial areas of slight surface loss and a slight brush to signature, otherwise very good condition. Scarce in any form, this is just the second Eiffel photo we have offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
