Following 30 years of construction, the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated on July 29, 1836. By comparison, The Eiffel Tower was completed in two years, on March 31, 1889, as the centerpiece of the 1889 World’s Fair. Shot from the observation deck, this image connects two of the most famous landmarks in Paris, a brilliant composition that hugs the Eiffel Tower to the far right edge, while choosing the significance and arc of the Ave d'Iéna as the focal point. In 1956/57, Paris was dominated by the Suez Crisis, the intensification of the Algerian War, and the start of European integration marked by The Paris Conference, addressing major issues regarding the formation of the European Economic Community (EEC).
