This print showcases the iconic Farman biplane, a groundbreaking aircraft of the 20th century. Designed by French aviation pioneer Henri Farman and powered by a 50hp Gnome engine, this innovative biplane triumphed in the distance contest at Reims Aviation Week in 1909. The Farmans aircraft achieved an extraordinary feat, covering an impressive distance of 180 kilometers in just over three hours. This remarkable accomplishment earned Henri Farman a well-deserved prize of 50,000 francs. The image captures the essence of flight and technological advancement during this era. The propeller-driven plane stands tall against the backdrop of France's picturesque countryside, symbolizing both progress and national pride. Its monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, evoking a sense of nostalgia for early aviation enthusiasts. This postcard-sized print serves as a testament to Henri Farman's pioneering spirit and his significant contributions to the field of aviation. It represents not only his personal victory but also marks an important milestone in the history of air transport. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how innovation can shape our world and propel us towards new horizons in transportation technology.
