Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (December 1832 – 27 December 1923) was a French civil engineer. A graduate of École Centrale des Arts et Métiers, he made his name with various bridges for the French railway network, most famously the Garabit Viaduct. He is best known for the Eiffel Tower, designed by his company and built for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris, and his contribution to building the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) in New York. After his retirement from engineering, Eiffel focused on research into meteorology and aerodynamics, making significant contributions in both fields. Roger-Viollet is a photographic agency founded in 1938 by Hélène Roger-Viollet, located at 6 Rue de Seine in Paris. Its collections, which include eight million phototypes, were bequeathed to the City of Paris in 1985 and integrated into the Historical Library of the City of Paris in January 2018. sends by La Poste
