EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Le marquis de Dion vient d'apprendre à M Santos-Dumont qu'il a dépassé de 40 secondes le temps fixe pour la durée de l'épreuve" takes us back to the early days of aviation, specifically the year 1901. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness an intense encounter between two pioneers of flight. The Marquis de Dion, known for his contributions to automotive engineering and racing, stands before M Santos-Dumont with a mixture of surprise and disappointment etched across his face. He has just informed Santos-Dumont that he has exceeded the fixed time limit by a mere 40 seconds during their aviation challenge on October 19th. This engraving beautifully captures the excitement and determination that surrounded these early attempts at conquering the skies. The aircraft itself is depicted as a primitive yet awe-inspiring machine - an embodiment of human ambition and ingenuity. With its intricate details and masterful execution, this artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of progress. It reminds us of the courage it took for these visionaries to defy gravity and push boundaries in order to unlock new possibilities for transportation. As we gaze upon this image from our present vantage point, we are reminded of how far we have come since those pioneering days. This engraving invites us to reflect on our own achievements while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern aviation.
