EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lido, Venice: A Historic Backdrop to the 1927 Schneider Trophy Race This evocative print, drawn by renowned German artist Emil Stumpp, captures the iconic Lido waterfront in Venice, Italy, as the stage for the 1927 Schneider Trophy Race. The Lido, a long, narrow sandbar separating the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, has been a popular destination for tourists and locals alike for centuries. But in 1927, it became the epicenter of the aviation world. The Schneider Trophy was an international air racing competition, established in 1913 by French aviation pioneer Henri Schneider. The race aimed to promote the development of seaplanes and improve their performance, making it a significant event in the history of aviation. The 1927 race, held off the coast of Venice, attracted the best pilots and aircraft manufacturers from around the world. In this print, we see the Lido's distinctive waterfront, with its grandstands and pavilions, teeming with spectators eagerly anticipating the races. In the foreground, a seaplane taxis along the water, ready to take off and join the competition. The sleek, streamlined design of the aircraft, with its wings outstretched and propellers spinning, epitomizes the technological advancements of the era. Emil Stumpp's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the energy and excitement of the scene make this print a captivating testament to the 1927 Schneider Trophy Race and the role the Lido played in aviation history.
