“Airplane III” was printed from an antique photographic plate positive 9 × 12 cm, originally dating around 1910, France. We have developed our own technique, so that we can reproduce the original negative plate with the smallest details on a piezography print.
Henry Farman (1874 – 1958) on January 13, 1908 was the first aviator to fly the 1km distance for 1 minute and 28 seconds. The Farman HF-1 was built by engineer Gabriel Voisin (1880 – 1973).
The HF-2 (blackprint edition) was built in April 1909 by another engineer Mr. Blum.
