EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Flights And Tests of Rex Smith Plane Flown By Anthony Jannus; in plane with Miss Laura Merriam," showcases American aviation pioneer, Anthony Jannus (1889-1916), during a flight in a Rex Smith biplane. The image, captured in 1912, depicts Jannus with Miss Laura Merriam as they soar above Potomac Park in Washington D.C. Jannus is renowned for making the first ever scheduled airline flight. Despite his significant contributions to aviation history, his life was tragically cut short when he died in a crash over the Black Sea during World War I. The black and white image, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, is a testament to the early days of aviation in America. Jannus, dressed in a pilot's outfit, sits confidently at the controls of the biplane, while Merriam, dressed in a fashionable hat and coat, gazes out at the view below. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the excitement and adventure of early aviation. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, contains many rare and historic photographs, including this one. It is a reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove men and women to push the boundaries of what was possible in the early 20th century. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on aviation history or American history.
