EDITORS COMMENTS
This period photograph depicts Samuel Cody, a pioneering figure in the early history of aviation, soaring through the skies in his innovative aircraft. The image, taken around the time of his groundbreaking first flight on January 2nd, 1908, captures the excitement and sense of adventure that characterized the dawn of aviation. Dressed in a leather helmet and goggles, Cody confidently steers the aircraft, its large biplane wings spread wide against the open sky. The photograph, measuring 10 inches by 8 inches, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Edwardian era and the early days of flight. The Daily Mirror, a renowned British newspaper at the time, captured this momentous occasion, preserving it for future generations to marvel at the ingenuity and courage of Samuel Cody and the pioneers of early aviation. This photograph is part of the extensive Samuel Cody Archive, a valuable collection of historical images, now available through Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. and Mary Evans Prints Online.
