J. MUNIER. "L'Exhibition Aerienne." Photolithograph print, 11-3/8 x 16-1/4 inches (288 x 414 mm), no date, but c.1908. showing an aviation meet with multiple aircraft in the sky simultaneously while a crowd in the foreground looks on in amazement. The aircraft incorporated in this image, almost certainly drawn from contemporary photographs, include the Wright Flyer featured prominently in the foreground, as well as what appear to be Levavassuer's Gastambide-Mengin machine, and Goupy's triplane, as well as a rigid airship and a blimp. The arrival of Wilbur Wright in Paris in 1908 created a great deal of excitement among the French public, and a boom in everything related to aviation. This somewhat exaggerated image seems to have been printed to sell to a crowd eager to gather everything related to aviation.
