Biplane Doncaster

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in aviation history - Paul de Lesseps soaring through the skies in his Bleriot monoplane at the Aviation meeting at Doncaster Racecourse in October 1909. The image exudes a sense of adventure and daring, as de Lesseps pushes the boundaries of what was thought possible during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The vintage quality of this photograph adds to its charm, transporting viewers back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy. The old-fashioned biplane design of the Bleriot monoplane is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of early aviators like de Lesseps. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at the courage and skill required to pilot such a primitive aircraft. It's clear that de Lesseps possessed both qualities in abundance, as he navigated the skies with grace and precision. This print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is not just a piece of art - it's a window into an era where dreams took flight and anything seemed possible. Let it inspire you to reach for new heights and embrace your own spirit of adventure.
