In this photo print, we witness the remarkable moment when Henri Farman takes to the skies in his Voisin-Farman No 1 biplane. This historic event, which occurred on January 13th, 1908 at Issy-les-Moulineaux, marked a significant milestone in aviation history. Farman's circular flight of over one kilometer not only showcased his exceptional piloting skills but also secured him the prestigious Deutsch-Archdeacon prize of 50,000 francs. The magnitude of this achievement cannot be understated; it stands as perhaps the second greatest advance in aviation after the Wright brothers' first flight. As we gaze upon this image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are transported back to a time when flying was still an awe-inspiring feat reserved for daring individuals like Farman. The landscape below serves as a reminder of both the beauty and vastness of our world. With his French flag proudly displayed on his biplane, Farman embodies not just a pioneering aviator but also represents national pride and European innovation. His courage and determination paved the way for future advancements in air travel. This print is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates an era defined by races against gravity and human limitations. It immortalizes an extraordinary personality whose name will forever be associated with feats that pushed boundaries and expanded horizons
