Farman & Latham : Two Posters. ca. 1910.
Pousthumis gives us two idyllic scenes of early flight that celebrate French aviators Henry Farman and Hubert Latham. In the first, we see a typical Voisin Farman biplane with its characteristic box-kite tail structure taking to the skies alongside a flock of birds. In the second, Latham’s Antoinette monoplane slices across the landscape; this model was one of the first monoplanes produced, and Latham’s attempted Channel flights made the plane quite popular in the early years of aviation. Although both aviators are famous for their groundbreaking aerial feats, no information exists on the artist. (2)
