内容简介

Loyrette's examination of the life and works of famed engineer Gustave Eiffel is a readable and attractive addition to the literature about the important pioneer in iron construction. The author has made good use of the documentation available about Eiffel, and the many photographs and drawings reproduced here emphasize the significance of Eiffel's achievement. Key works dis cussed include the Bon Marche stores, the Nice Observatory, the Statue of Liberty framework, and the structures for the Exposition Universelle of 1878. The chapter on the Eiffel Tower, "the last and greatest masterpiece" of iron construction, is especially valuable. Highly recommended for most architecture collections.
