"Making Military Drawings While Flying on an Aeroplane: how the sketches were made in mid-air". London: Illustrated London News, 1911. 1st edition. Folio. Original printed wrappers. Very good condition. Very nice copy removed from larger bound volume
This spectacular drawing is made from the viewpoint of the artist sitting directly behind the pilot of a Wright-style aeroplane. In the foreground we see the lap of the artist and his drawing pad as he sketches the terrain; the pilot's head takes up much of the center of the drawing, and in the background we see the distant horizon. Simply wonderful. $125
