This print showcases the remarkable Biplane Glider of Octave Chanute, a visionary French-born American engineer who left an indelible mark on the world of aviation. The glider's flight was achieved through a unique method - by running downhill until becoming airborne. Octave Chanute and his dedicated team embarked on their groundbreaking experiments in 1896, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in flight and gliding. This particular image is part of a set of cards on aviation published in 1910, beautifully preserved as a chromolithograph.

It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire to conquer the skies.

With every detail meticulously captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print invites us to marvel at how far we have come since those pioneering days. It reminds us that innovation knows no bounds and encourages us to continue reaching for new heights in our own endeavors – just like Octave Chanute did over a century ago.
