EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable construction of Zeppelin LZ 126 in Friedrichshafen, Germany in 1924. Built as part of Germany's war reparations to the US military after World War I, this airship would later be known as USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) once it completed its journey from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, New Jersey. The image showcases the intricate framework and meticulous craftsmanship that went into constructing this marvel of aviation. The towering structure stands tall against the backdrop of a factory, symbolizing both progress and innovation.

As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era when air travel was still a daring adventure. This monochrome snapshot not only documents a significant moment in history but also evokes feelings of awe and wonder at mankind's ability to conquer the skies.
