EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we see Mme Costes, the wife of a renowned French airman, proudly posing for two specially made photographs. The image captures her elegance and poise as she stands against a simple backdrop, exuding confidence and grace. The significance of these portraits lies in the timing - they were taken on the day that her husband completed his record flight. As a token of love and admiration, Mme Costes sent these precious mementos to him via a French liner. The print serves as both a reward for his remarkable achievement and a reminder of their enduring bond. Taken on September 25th, 1930, during the interwar period in Europe, this monochrome image carries with it an air of nostalgia. It transports us back to an era when aviation was still in its infancy but held great promise for exploration and adventure. The photographer behind this masterpiece is Madame Dora Kallmus (also known as Madame D'Ora), who was celebrated for her ability to capture the essence of her subjects through portraiture. Her skillful composition brings out Mme Costes' inner strength while highlighting her natural beauty. This print from TopFoto. co. uk not only preserves an intimate moment between husband and wife but also offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of the courage and determination exhibited by early aviators like Mme Costes' distinguished husband.
