EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment of the flying race from Dublin to Belfast Leopardstown on 7th September 1912. Taken by Desmond Arthur Stanton, a renowned photographer for the Topical Press Agency, this image showcases the early days of air races in Europe. In this landscape shot, we see a fleet of aircraft lined up on an airfield, ready to take off into the skies. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as pilots prepare themselves for this thrilling competition. The crowd gathered around adds to the excitement, their faces reflecting both awe and curiosity towards these magnificent flying machines. This historic event marked a significant milestone in Irish aviation history. As Ireland embraced its newfound love for air transport, it also symbolized new beginnings and advancements in technology during that era. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only the spirit of sport but also highlights how aviation became an integral part of transportation and leisure activities. The image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as aviators pushed boundaries in pursuit of speed and adventure. It transports us back to a time when airplane racing was still in its infancy but already capturing hearts worldwide. As we admire this archival piece from Getty Images' collection at Fine Art Storehouse, let us appreciate how far we have come since those pioneering days while acknowledging the indelible mark left by these early aviators on our modern world.
