The image shows the biplane "La Mouette" (The Seagull), proudly displayed at the prestigious Salon de Bruxelles in 1910. This annual exhibition was a major event in the world of art and design, and the inclusion of this pioneering aircraft marks the intersection of art and technology during the early days of aviation.

The photograph captures the La Mouette in all its glory, surrounded by onlookers who marvel at the machine's sleek lines and innovative design. The presence of the aircraft at the Salon de Bruxelles signaled the growing recognition of aviation as a legitimate and exciting field, and the potential for flight to revolutionize transportation and communication.
