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/
