Item Details
Description
WRIGHT & LAWRANCE: WRIGHT ORVILLE (1871-1948) American Aviator who, with his brother Wilbur, invented and built the world's first successful airplane, making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on 17th December 1903 & LAWRANCE CHARLES (1882-1950) American Aeronautical Engineer, an early proponent of air-cooled aircraft engines. A good vintage signed sepia 10 x 8 photograph by both Wright and Lawrance individually, the image depicting the two men standing alongside each other in half length poses. Signed by each with their names alone in fountain pen ink to clear areas at the base of the image. Some very slight surface creasing and minor signs of former mounting to the verso as a result of previous framing, about VG Lawrance's design of the J-1 air-cooled aircraft engine was the direct ancestor of the extremely successful Wright Whirlwind series of engines. In May 1923 Lawrance's company was acquired by Wright Aeronautical, with Lawrance himself retained as Vice-President, becoming the company's President just two years later.
