Original 1889 antique plate from The Illustrated London News titled 'Bird's-eye view of the Paris Exhibition buildings and grounds'. A beautiful and incredibly detailed piece depicting the unveiling of the Eiffel Tower at the 1889 Paris World Fair. Framed in a new gold bobbin frame with buttercream mount. Glazed with UV-protective Plexiglass. 53cm x 70cm including frame. Some slight marking around central crease (as issued) and a small tear but this does not detract from the piece as a whole in any way.
