EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous day in history - the 25th of July, 1909. French aviator Louis Bleriot, hailed as a pioneer in aviation, is captured leaving Dover Quay for breakfast at the prestigious Lord Warden Hotel following his historic flight across the English Channel. In this early era of flight, where planes were still a novelty and daring feats of aviation were celebrated worldwide, Bleriot's achievement was nothing short of extraordinary. With his trusty aircraft as his wings, he defied gravity and conquered one of nature's greatest barriers - the vast expanse of water that separates England from France. As we gaze upon this remarkable image frozen in time, we can almost feel the excitement and awe that must have filled the air on that fateful morning. The plane stands proudly on solid ground after its triumphant journey while Bleriot himself appears calm yet undoubtedly elated by his groundbreaking accomplishment. The Lord Warden Hotel serves as an elegant backdrop to this scene - a symbol of luxury and refinement amidst an age defined by progress and innovation. It is here that Bleriot chose to celebrate his victory with a well-deserved breakfast, basking in both personal triumph and international acclaim. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in aviation history but also invites us to reflect upon human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to push boundaries. It serves as a timeless reminder that dreams can indeed take flight when met with courage
