. This print captures a historic moment in aviation history. Taken in May 1910 during the Daily Mail London to Manchester air race, it showcases Louis Paulhan soaring high above Lichfield in his Henri Farman III aircraft. The silhouette of the plane against the cloudy sky creates a dramatic and awe-inspiring scene. As one of Europe's top personalities in air transport, Paulhan's daring spirit is evident as he navigates through the clouds with grace and precision. The telegraph pole standing tall below adds a sense of scale, emphasizing the immense height at which this incredible feat was achieved. The image not only represents an important milestone for French culture but also highlights the advancements made in air races during this era. It symbolizes human ingenuity, pushing boundaries, and defying gravity itself. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate this archival piece that beautifully captures both speed and elegance.
