This print captures a significant moment in aviation history. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, accompanied by his daughter Helene (Hella) von Zeppelin and engineer Ludwig Duerr, stands proudly in the gondola of the iconic Zeppelin LZ3 airship. The image was taken on September 26,1907, in Friedrichshafen. The photograph showcases not only the progress made in aviation but also highlights the role of women during this era. Hella's presence demonstrates that even at a time when female involvement in engineering and technology was rare, she stood alongside her father as they embarked on their groundbreaking journey. The body language and gestures depicted suggest an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's visionary spirit is palpable as he gazes into the future of flight with confidence.
