This print captures the iconic figures of Louis Bleriot and Adolphe Pegoud, two pioneers in the world of aviation. On the right stands Louis Bleriot, a renowned French aviator known for his historic feat of being the first man to successfully cross the English Channel in an airplane back in July 1909. His determination and courage made him a true legend in air transport history. Beside him is Adolphe Pegoud, a celebrated French air ace who unfortunately met his untimely demise during World War I. Together, these two men symbolize bravery and innovation as they pushed boundaries within their field. The monochrome portrait exudes an aura of nostalgia from the early 20th century, transporting us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy.
