EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print from 1913 showcases a postcard of an aeroplane gracefully circling around the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The image, captured by a talented French photographer of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the historical significance and beauty of this momentous occasion. The photograph transports us back in time to an era when aviation was still in its infancy, making this aerial view all the more remarkable. The Eiffel Tower stands tall and proud amidst the cityscape, while the River Seine meanders below like a shimmering ribbon. This postcard not only captures a breathtaking scene but also serves as a testament to the power of communication through postal services during that period. Stamped with vintage postage stamps and sent over a century ago, it symbolizes how people connected across distances using traditional mail. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when air travel was considered extraordinary and awe-inspiring. It reminds us of the progress made in transportation technology since then, as well as our ongoing fascination with flight. As we admire this bird's-eye view photograph today, we can appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It provides us with a unique perspective on one of Europe's most beloved landmarks while reminding us of our shared human desire to explore new horizons.
