About This Design
Lightning Striking the Eiffel Tower Postcard
This design features an early photograph showing lightning hitting the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It is, in fact, one of the very earliest photographs that clearly shows lightning in an urban setting. The photograph comes originally from a book published by Camille Flammarion in 1906 called "Thunder and Lightning" (in French, "Tonnerre et éclairs"). The lightning strike shown here hit the Eiffel Tower on June 3 1902, between 9 and 10 PM. The Eiffel Tower was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, and it has become a global cultural icon of France, as it is one of the most recognisable structures in the world. The tower is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built it.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
