EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history as French pioneer pilot Louis Bleriot (1872-1936) sits for a bust sculpture by the renowned Russian artist, Boris Edouard Emmanuel Bernstamm (1870-1953). The image, taken in August 1909, documents the meticulous process of creating a commemorative piece for the Musee Grevin in Paris. Bleriot, dressed in a smart suit and tie, gazes intently at the horizon as Bernstamm carefully measures his profile with calipers. The artist's focused expression and the pilot's determined pose convey the intensity and dedication required for both aviation and sculpture. The setting, with its simple background and natural light, emphasizes the human connection between artist and subject. August 1909 was a significant time for Bleriot, as he had recently achieved international fame by becoming the first person to fly across the English Channel in his monoplane, the Blériot XI. This groundbreaking achievement cemented his place in aviation history and made him a symbol of human innovation and perseverance. Bernstamm, an accomplished sculptor, was known for his realistic and detailed works. He had already created busts of notable figures such as Victor Hugo, Jules Verne, and Gustave Eiffel. The Bleriot bust, now a part of the Musee Grevin's collection, stands as a testament to the artistic and historical significance of both the pilot and the sculptor.
