The title names a Hanriot monoplane, a design from the French firm associated with aviation pioneer René Hanriot. Light single-wing aircraft like this appeared across Europe in the first years of powered flight, when builders were still experimenting with wing shape, engines and controls. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied news photographs to newspapers, so this negative likely reflects the press interest in flying machines of that period. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact model and date should be confirmed before relying on them.
