The focus here is the engine of a Blériot monoplane, a reminder that the power plant was as central to early flight as the airframe around it. Louis Blériot gained lasting fame in July 1909 when he flew across the English Channel, a feat that drew newspaper coverage around the world. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds many negatives made for news use by the Bain News Service in New York, though the title on this record is unverified and no date is recorded.
