EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "L'aeroplane Langley evoluant au-dessus du Potomac" takes us back to the early days of aviation. The image depicts a momentous occasion in history when Samuel Pierpont Langley's aircraft soared above the Potomac River. The scene is filled with anticipation as onlookers marvel at this incredible feat of human ingenuity. The aeroplane, with its wings outstretched, glides gracefully through the air, defying gravity and capturing the imagination of all who witness it. This artwork was created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It originally served as an illustration for J Lecornu's book "La Navigation Aerienne" published in 1910. The engraving beautifully captures not only the physical beauty of flight but also represents a significant milestone in aviation history. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer the skies and push boundaries. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of flight. From this humble beginning emerged a world where airplanes now dominate our skies, connecting people across continents and making travel more accessible than ever before. This artwork serves as a timeless reminder that dreams can become reality through determination, innovation, and unwavering belief in what seems impossible.
