The most ornate of Paris's bridges, kept low across the Seine on purpose. The single steel arch was held under six metres so it would not break the line of sight between the Invalides and the Champs-Élysées. Built in three and a half years for the 1900 World's Fair, named for a Russian tsar whose son laid the first stone. The gilt-bronze Fames at the four corners catch the last hour of light. People stop on the Esplanade des Invalides just to watch them go.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
