Artist's Description
It was at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the date that marked the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, that a great competition was launched in the Journal Officiel.
The wager was to "study the possibility of erecting an iron tower on the Champ-de-Mars with a square base, 125 metres across and 300 metres tall". Selected from among 107 projects, it was that of Gustave Eiffel, an entrepreneur, Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, both engineers, and Stephen Sauvestre, an architect, that was accepted.
The first digging work started on the 28th January 1887. On the 31st March 1889, the Tower had been finished in record time 2 years, 2 months and 5 days and was established as a veritable technical feat. http://www.toureiffel.paris/everything-about-the-tower/themed-files/69
