EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an early 1900s Porte and Pirie Glider. Circa the late Edwardian or early Victorian era, this image offers a glimpse into the infancy of aviation history. The Porte and Pirie Glider, a biplane design, is seen here with its wings folded, resting on the ground. The monoplane's sleek and elegant structure, with its wooden frame and fabric covering, exudes an air of innovation and excitement. The pilot, dressed in a leather helmet and goggles, stands nearby, ready to take flight. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, captures the moment before takeoff, as the aviator prepares for an adventure into the unknown. The Porte and Pirie Glider, with its distinctive shape and open cockpit, represents the spirit of exploration and the relentless pursuit of human ingenuity. This photograph is a testament to the early days of aviation, a time when airplanes were still a novelty and the skies were yet to be conquered. The Porte and Pirie Glider, along with other early aircraft, paved the way for the development of modern aviation. This image offers a unique perspective into history, transporting us back to a time when the world was still discovering the boundless possibilities of flight.
