EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1926, this breathtaking print showcases a daring feat that defies gravity and pushes the boundaries of human achievement. Lieutenant Collot fearlessly soars through the base arch of the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The sheer audacity and precision required to execute such a maneuver is awe-inspiring. As if suspended in mid-air, Collot's aircraft gracefully glides beneath one of the world's most recognizable landmarks. Against the backdrop of an azure sky, his plane becomes a symbol of freedom and innovation during the vibrant era of the 1920s. This extraordinary image from The Northcliffe Collection encapsulates not only aviation history but also captures a moment where engineering marvel meets artistic brilliance. The juxtaposition between man-made ingenuity and architectural grandeur is strikingly evident as Collot navigates his aeroplane with unparalleled skill. The photograph serves as a testament to human courage, pushing beyond limits previously thought impossible. It invites us to reflect on our own aspirations and challenges us to reach for new heights both literally and metaphorically. Preserved within this print are echoes of an era defined by progress, adventure, and boundless ambition. It reminds us that even amidst turbulent times, there are individuals who dare to dream big – those who refuse to be grounded by convention or limitations. In celebrating this remarkable snapshot from history, we honor Lieutenant Collot's indomitable spirit while marveling at mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering uncharted territories above ground level
