EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the baptism of air for General Jean Brun, the minister of war. The image showcases the general seated inside an early aircraft, surrounded by onlookers and members of the press. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as this pioneering aviator prepares to take flight. The engraving, originally published in "Le petit parisien" newspaper on June 5th, 1910, offers a glimpse into the beginning of aviation during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to conquer new frontiers. General Jean Brun (1849-1911) was not only a military leader but also one of France's first aviators. This historic moment symbolizes his courage and willingness to embrace technological advancements that would shape future warfare strategies. The artist behind this remarkable print remains anonymous, yet their skillful rendering brings life to every detail - from the intricate design of the aircraft to the expressions on people's faces. This piece now resides in a private collection, preserved as a valuable artifact documenting an important chapter in both aviation history and General Brun's legacy. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of flight. It stands as a tribute not only to General Brun but also to all those who dared to defy gravity and explore uncharted skies.
