Is there a drawing of the giant guillotine to be built instead of the Eiffel tower?

Yes, there are historical sketches and proposals for a giant guillotine that was suggested as an alternative to the Eiffel Tower during the design competition in the late 19th century. The idea was put forth by the French artist and architect, but it was ultimately not taken seriously and did not gain traction. The Eiffel Tower, designed by Gustave Eiffel, won the competition and became an iconic symbol of Paris. The guillotine concept remains a curious footnote in the history of the Eiffel Tower's construction.
