The Furniture That Flies - A Curious Show of Innovation and Efficiency
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "The Furniture That Flies" we are transported back to the year 1928, where actress Eleonora Woodruff found herself in a peculiar situation at Teterborough Airport in New Jersey. Returning home from her travels, she decided to take an unconventional approach by flying part of the furniture from her villa instead of shipping it separately. This unusual sight caught the attention of many onlookers and became a spectacle worth capturing. Illustrated for Courier Sunday on October 28th, 1928, this color lithograph showcases the audacity and creativity that characterized early aviation. The image depicts chairs, desks, and even luggage suspended beneath a fleet of airplanes as they soar through the sky alongside birds. It is a whimsical scene that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also reflects the spirit of innovation during that era. As air travel was still relatively new and glamorous film stars like Eleonora Woodruff were becoming icons, this unique display perfectly encapsulates both worlds colliding. Beltrame Achille's artistic vision brings this enchanting story to life with his impeccable attention to detail and vibrant colors. Through his work, he invites us into a world where furniture can fly alongside planes effortlessly—a testament to human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that sometimes it takes boldness and out-of-the-box thinking to create something truly extraordinary.
