EIFFEL GUSTAVE: (1832-1923) French Civil Engineer & Architect, best known for the world-famous Eiffel Tower, built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris. A good autograph statement signed, G. Eiffel, on an 8vo page removed from an album, n.p., (Paris), n.d. (dated 14th July 1889 in an unidentified hand to the upper right corner), in French. Eiffel writes, in full, 'Paris is, at this time, eager to give the universe its warmest welcome'. A fine, boldly penned example with a good association to the Eiffel Tower, created as the entrance to the Exposition Universelle of 1889. Some very light, extremely minor age toning, largely to the edges, VG £400-600
