Clement Ader, French engineer and inventor, 1915
Clement Ader, French engineer and inventor, 1915. Ader (1841-1925) is best known for his work in aviation. In 1890 his aircraft Eole became the first self-propelled aircraft to take off and fly (albeit only for 50 metres), 13 years before the Wright Brothers made their famous flight. He also made improvements to Alexander Graham Bells telephone and, in 1880, established the first telephone network in Paris.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Clement Ader, French Engineer and Inventor, 1915. This photograph captures the pioneering spirit of Clement Ader, a remarkable figure in aviation history. Known for his groundbreaking work in the field of flight, Ader's aircraft Eole took off and flew for a distance of 50 meters in 1890 – an astonishing achievement that predates the famous Wright Brothers' flight by over a decade. Beyond his contributions to aviation, Ader's brilliance extended to other areas as well. He made significant improvements to Alexander Graham Bell's telephone and established Paris' first telephone network in 1880. His relentless pursuit of innovation earned him recognition as one of France's most esteemed inventors. In this portrait from Album de Photographies dans L Intimite de Personnages Illustres, we see Ader with his distinguished moustache and intense gaze – attributes befitting a man who revolutionized transportation through air travel. The medals adorning his chest symbolize not only his achievements but also the immense impact he had on science and engineering during this pivotal period. This print serves as a testament to Clement Ader's indelible legacy as an aviator, engineer, inventor, and pioneer. It encapsulates both the determination that fueled his groundbreaking accomplishments and the profound impact he had on shaping our modern world.
