Developed in the form of wood engravings at the time of the construction of the Eiffel Tower (1887-1889), finally executed in lithography using no less than five matrices, this series of prints in twelve colors printed in 500 copies on vellum paper is completed in 1902, exactly seventy years after its revered model, the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Henri Rivière (1865-1951), painter, engraver, illustrator and former artistic director of the Chat Noir shadow theater, a famous Montmartre cabaret, displays his Japanese passion and technical mastery by multiplying framings, angles of view and atmospheres. The creation of this elegant oblong quarto (235 × 290 mm) is the joint work of his favorite publisher, the printer Eugène Verneau (1853-1913), the graphic designer and poet George Auriol (1863-1938) and the critic d'art and founder of Le Rire Arsène Alexandre (1859-1937), who in his prologue amusingly describes the Eiffel Tower as "a large wand for hanging kakemonos".
