These are not rejected designs for the Eiffel tower as is often claimed, they are some of the entries for a competition a year after the Eiffel tower was finished. The winner, named Watkin's Tower, was never finished. https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/entries-to-a-competition-to-design-a-new-tower-in-london-1890 https://www.onverticality.com/blog/great-tower-for-london-competition https://europeannewsroom.com/images-show-rejected-designs-for-london-tower-that-was-never-completed-not-the-eiffel-tower/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1733403171769200790
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
