EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the Tatler magazine, published on the 24th of November 1909, we find an unusual gathering in the picturesque Bois de Boulogne, Paris. The scene is set with three distinguished individuals relaxing amidst the serene beauty of the park. To the left, we have M. Santos Dumont, a pioneering figure in the world of aviation. Known as the "First Aviator," he is credited with making the first powered flight in Europe, achieving this feat in a flying machine of his own design in 1897. His groundbreaking innovations paved the way for the development of modern aviation. Next to him is Madame Charron, a renowned Parisienne, who adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. Her presence in this photograph with such notable figures further attests to her status in Parisian society. The man on the right is none other than "Sem," the world-famous cartoonist. Sem was celebrated for his satirical drawings of English racing and yachting personalities, which were the talk of London. His work was featured regularly in various magazines and newspapers, making him a household name in the 1900s. This photograph, taken in 1909, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals, capturing a moment of leisure and camaraderie in the heart of Paris. The Tatler magazine, known for its coverage of society and trends, was the perfect platform for showcasing this unique gathering.
