EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Curtiss Biplane 2 Engines, with Floats... 1917," is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation history. Created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image showcases a Curtiss Biplane with two engines and floats, ready for takeoff on the water. The plane's powerful engines roar in the background, as Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina climbs into the cockpit with the assistance of aviation pioneer Augustus Thomas Post Jr. The year is 1917, and the world is on the brink of the First World War. The aviation industry was rapidly advancing, and the need for efficient and reliable aircraft was more crucial than ever. The Curtiss Biplane, with its innovative design and impressive capabilities, was at the forefront of this technological revolution. Senator Tillman, dressed in formal attire, dons a hat as he prepares for his flight. Augustus Post, wearing a suit and holding a cane, looks on with a sense of pride and excitement. The image captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that defined the early 20th century. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George Harris and his wife Martha, was a leading provider of photographic services during the early 1900s. Their glass negatives have become an invaluable resource for historians and researchers, offering a unique perspective on the people, places, and events of the time. The Curtiss Biplane in this photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the early aviation pioneers. It serves as a reminder of the incredible progress that has been made in the field of aviation and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
