EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Curtiss Airplane - J.A.D. McCurdy, Aviator, 1912," showcases the daring spirit of Canadian aviation pioneer, John Alexander Douglas McCurdy. McCurdy, who later became the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, is depicted standing confidently beside a Curtiss Biplane, a testament to the burgeoning aviation industry in the early 1910s. The monochrome image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in aviation history. McCurdy, dressed in a leather jacket, woolen balaclava, and leather gloves, embodies the rugged determination required to tame the skies. His intense gaze and posture exude a sense of focus and determination, as if ready for takeoff. The Curtiss Biplane, a symbol of American industrial prowess, looms in the background, its wings outstretched and gleaming in the sunlight. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, when the world was being reshaped by the advent of air transport. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and innovation that drove early aviators to push the boundaries of human flight. Harris & Ewing, comprised of George W. Harris and Martha Ewing (later Kuntze), were renowned for their high-quality glass negatives and innovative photographic techniques. Their studio, Harris Ewing Photographic Studio, produced numerous iconic images that documented the social, political, and cultural landscape of America during the early 20th century.
