EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing trench art piece showcases a brass lighter with an exquisitely detailed engraving of a French Bleriot monoplane on one side and a French airship on the reverse. The Bleriot Monoplane, a single-seat, single-engine aircraft designed by Louis Bleriot, made its first flight in 1907 and became the first successful monoplane to cross the English Channel in 1909. The airship on the reverse side is reminiscent of the early Zeppelin airships that were used primarily by the German military during World War I. Trench art, a term used to describe the creative works produced by soldiers during wartime, often involved repurposing everyday objects into unique and functional pieces. This brass lighter, with its intricate aeronautical designs, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during the First World War. The round shape of the lighter, with its intricate metalwork, not only served as a functional tool but also as a reminder of the aerial innovations and advancements taking place during this period. The historical significance of this trench art piece lies not only in its intricate design but also in the context of the time in which it was created. The Bleriot Monoplane and early airships represented the dawn of aviation and the potential for military advantage in the skies. This brass lighter, with its representation of these aeronautical marvels, serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, creativity, and resourcefulness of soldiers during wartime.
