This glass negative shows a Zeppelin passenger airship, a rigid craft built by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's company in Germany. From 1910 until the outbreak of war in 1914, the German Airship Transport Company flew these vessels on one of the first scheduled commercial passenger services, carrying travelers between German cities. The Bain News Service title is unverified, so the exact vessel and date are uncertain, but the picture captures a brief moment when air travel seemed poised to become routine.
