Acquired Bernard Brothers Orville Scipio Wilbur Wright

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in February 1921, Orville Wright is seen with his beloved St. Bernard dog, Scipio. The image captures a moment of relaxation and companionship between the renowned aviation pioneer and his faithful canine companion. Orville acquired Scipio in March 1917, adding another layer of warmth and joy to the Wright brothers' lives. Orville and his brother Wilbur are known for their groundbreaking achievements in aviation, having made their first powered flight on December 17, 1903. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into their personal lives, revealing the softer side of these brilliant inventors. The St. Bernard breed, known for its size, strength, and gentle nature, was a popular choice among the Wright family. Scipio appears to be a cherished member of their household, providing comfort and companionship to Orville. The photograph's setting is simple yet evocative, with Orville and Scipio seated on a wooden bench in a garden or park. The lush greenery and sunlit scene create a serene atmosphere, emphasizing the tranquility and contentment that Orville and Scipio share. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, and the joy that they bring to our lives. As we admire this heartwarming photograph, we are reminded of the human side of the Wright brothers, beyond their legendary accomplishments in aviation. Orville and Scipio's story is a poignant reminder of the importance of companionship, love, and the simple pleasures in life.
