Reconstruction du pont de la Tournelle
1926
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg traded romantic Parisian vistas for raw engineering in this 1926 sketch of the Pont de la Tournelle under reconstruction. He meticulously details the wooden scaffolding and stone blocks forming a massive arch, set against the backdrop of classic Haussmann apartment buildings lining the Seine. This behind-the-scenes look at the City of Light's infrastructure proves that even the most elegant bridges start as messy construction sites, capturing a moment of urban transformation between the world wars.
