Alberto Santos Dumont, a pioneer in aviation, made history with his daring and innovative airship designs. One of the most iconic moments was captured on October 19th, 1901 when his Santos Dumont Air-ship gracefully rounded the Eiffel Tower, leaving spectators in awe. In a black and white photograph from 1907, we see Alberto Santos-Dumont himself standing proudly beside one of his creations. His determination and passion for flight are evident in his eyes. However, not all flights were successful. An unfortunate accident occurred to the Santos-Dumont Balloon, resulting in wreckage that needed to be removed under Alberto's supervision. This lithograph captures the aftermath of this incident. The chromolitho print showcases a series of dirigible airships created by Alberto between 1898 and 1901. These magnificent flying machines represented his relentless pursuit of conquering the skies. Another chromolitho depicts an extraordinary moment when Alberto's airship flew around the Eiffel Tower on October 19th, 1901. The vibrant colors bring to life the excitement and wonder felt by those who witnessed this historic event. A color lithograph portrays a sensational flight by Alberto Santos Dumont in Paris' Bois de Boulogne. The image exudes thrill as he soars through the sky with grace and confidence. In Monte Carlo, tragedy struck as Balloon No. 6 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on February 14th during one of M Santos Dumont's experiments. An engraving shows Prince Monaco launching a rescue mission to save him from perilous waters. Despite setbacks like these accidents, Alberto remained undeterred in pursuing his dreams of flight. A lithograph illustrates another crash where his airship collided into the Mediterranean sea - a reminder that progress often comes at great risk. Not limited to airships alone, Alberto also ventured into aeroplane design as depicted in a colorful lithograph.
