Man painting the Eiffel Tower without a safety belt more than 900 feet above Paris, 1953. One of Riboud’s best known images is Eiffel Tower Painter, published in LIFE Magazine in 1953 (seen at right).  

“The painter, known as Zazou, is at ease, I felt dizzy and I closed my eyes every time he bent over to dip his brush.” - M.R
