EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of the Third Gordon Bennett Balloon race in Berlin, Germany. Taken by an anonymous photographer in 1908, it showcases a significant event funded by James Gordon Bennett Jr. , a prominent figure known for his adventurous spirit and generous contributions. Bennett's passion for ballooning led him to establish the Gordon Bennett Cup in 1906, which remains an esteemed competition to this day. However, his legacy extends far beyond this sporting event. A true sportsman, playboy, and successful businessman, Bennett is also remembered as the visionary who financed Stanley's historic expedition to Africa in search of David Livingstone. The image transports us back to a time when gas balloons dominated the skies. The sight of these majestic vessels floating effortlessly against Berlin's skyline evokes a sense of wonder and awe. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of exploration. Ken Welsh's expert illustration brings this historical moment back to life with remarkable detail and authenticity. Preserved within archives as part of our rich heritage, this vintage engraving offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century aviation history. Whether you are fascinated by ballooning or simply captivated by moments frozen in time, this print is sure to ignite your imagination and spark conversations about mankind's enduring quest for adventure above the clouds.
