EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment in aviation history - the collision between two aeroplanes at the Vienna air meeting. The intense colors of the lithograph bring to life the chaos and devastation that unfolded on that fateful day. In this dramatic scene, two aircrafts are shown crashing into each other mid-air, their wings entangled and engines ablaze. The skilled artists from the French School have masterfully depicted the sheer terror and helplessness of both pilots as they realize their impending doom. The image was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on July 6,1913, providing a visual account of this catastrophic event. It serves as a haunting reminder of the risks early aviators faced while pushing boundaries in flight. The collision not only highlights the dangers associated with flying but also underscores Austria's significant role in early aviation history. As one of Europe's leading nations in aerospace technology during that time, Vienna hosted prestigious air shows attracting aviators from around the world. This powerful artwork stands as a testament to human resilience and innovation amidst tragedy. It reminds us of how far we have come in ensuring safer skies through advancements in aircraft design and improved safety regulations.
