EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in aviation history - the crash of Orville Wright and American Lieutenant Selfridge with their airplane. Taken from thirty meters high, this colour litho by Achille Beltrame showcases the air dramas that unfolded on that fateful day. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published in Courier Sunday between 27 September and 4 October 1908. In this illustration, we witness the bravery and audacity of these early aviators as they push the boundaries of flight. The fallen plane serves as a reminder of the risks involved in pioneering such revolutionary technology. As two men plummet towards the ground, their faces etched with determination and fear, we are transported back to an era when aviation was still in its infancy. Beltrame's skillful depiction brings to life not only the danger but also the excitement surrounding these early flights. The biplanes soaring through the sky symbolize progress and innovation while highlighting America's role as a leader in aviation. This artwork is a testament to human ambition and resilience; it reminds us that even amidst failure or tragedy, there is always room for growth and advancement. It serves as a powerful tribute to those who dared to dream big and paved the way for modern air travel as we know it today.
