This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Wright Brothers testing an early plane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA, circa 1903. Wilbur and Orville Wright, two visionary pioneers of aviation, are seen here pushing the boundaries of flight with their groundbreaking invention. This particular aircraft marks a significant departure from their previous experiments with gliders as it is equipped with an engine.
