EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Curtiss Airplane Tests and Demonstrations; Twin Engine Biplane, Potomac Park, 1916," offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation history. Captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this glass negative image showcases a Curtiss twin-engine biplane undergoing rigorous tests and demonstrations at Potomac Park, located in Washington D.C. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of early aviators, as they pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of air travel. The biplane, with its powerful twin engines, is seen taxing on the grassy airfield, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Men in formal attire, some wearing hats and holding binoculars, observe the scene with great interest. A lone man in work clothes, possibly an engineer or mechanic, checks the aircraft's systems. In the background, a bicycle leans against a tree, suggesting that this was a common mode of transportation at the time. Newspapers and other papers are scattered on the ground, indicating that the event was likely covered by the press. The image is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a unique perspective on the early history of aviation in America. The photograph exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the promise of air travel began to take flight. The image is a reminder of the significant role that innovation and determination played in shaping the transportation landscape of the 20th century.
