EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Richardson Tandem Biplane Hydroplane Taking Off On Potomac, April, 1916," showcases an impressive feat of early aviation history. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a Richardson Tandem Biplane Hydroplane preparing for takeoff on the tranquil waters of the Potomac River. The plane, with its distinctive twin-engine design and streamlined hull, is poised to skim across the water's surface, leaving a ripple in its wake. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Potomac River, with the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape adding a sense of serenity to the image. The photograph captures the moment of anticipation as the plane readies itself for flight, the propellers spinning rapidly, and the water churning beneath the wings. The Richardson Tandem Biplane Hydroplane was a pioneering aircraft of its time, designed by George William Harris and built by the Harris-Ewing Company in the United States. This innovative aircraft was one of the first successful seaplanes, combining the advantages of a biplane configuration with the ability to take off and land on water. This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early aviation pioneers, who pushed the boundaries of technology and transportation. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation in America.
