EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in aviation history. The image showcases Hubert Latham, a French aviator, as he courageously attempts to fly across the English Channel on July 19,1909. Sitting inside an Antoinette monoplane, Latham exudes determination and bravery. However, fate had different plans for him that day. As he soared through the skies halfway into his journey, disaster struck when the engine of his aircraft failed. With no other option but to make an emergency landing in the treacherous waters below, Latham found himself in grave danger. Thankfully, a French torpedo boat came to his rescue just in time. This dramatic turn of events highlights both the risks involved in early aviation and the heroism displayed by those who ventured into uncharted territories. Published in Le Petit Journal on August 1st, 1909, this photograph serves as a testament to Latham's pioneering spirit and unwavering pursuit of flight. It also symbolizes the triumphs and setbacks experienced by aviators during this era of rapid technological advancement. With its historical significance and artistic composition captured by a talented yet anonymous French School photographer from the 20th century, this print is not only visually striking but also offers viewers a glimpse into one man's daring quest for aerial exploration.
