EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the electrifying atmosphere of the early days of aviation, as British aviator Claude Grahame-White (1879-1959) prepares for the Great Air Race at Hendon, London, in 1910. Sponsored by the Daily Mail, this groundbreaking competition marked a significant milestone in the history of air transport. Grahame-White, clad in a heavy woolen coat and trousers, is seen here with Lady Northcliffe, wife of the Daily Mail's influential owner, Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe. The fashionable Lady Northcliffe dons an elegant Edwardian hat and long coat, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The backdrop of the vast competition field, filled with eager spectators, further emphasizes the excitement and anticipation surrounding this historic event. As Grahame-White readies himself for takeoff, the sleek aeroplane, emblazoned with the Daily Mail logo, stands proudly in the foreground. This photograph is not only a testament to the pioneering spirit of aviation but also a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social dynamics of the Edwardian era.
