Blériot XI &
Louis Charles Joseph Blériot (1872 – 1936 )

Interesting positive glass view in a 10x8cm format.
Found this weekend in Cestas. For sure this plane, the Bleriot XI was one of the most famous in 1909.
He was the first plane to cross the English Chanel  (La Manche) in 25th July of 1909. His pilot, engineer and constructer  became one of the most famous personalities at those times. He won a 1000£ prize offered by the Daily mail newspaper.

I like to imagine that in this photo,  Blériot was piloting the famous Bleriot XI.

Lately, the name “Blériot”” and his company “Recherches Aeronautiques Louis Blériot “ became a reference in the aeronautics 




The design of Bleriot XI

Old Bordeaux(By H. Duclos)

Two glass pictures from 1905, in "Allées de Tourny" ( Bordeaux /France).

It was a special day, the French President was present to inaugurate the Gambetta Monument.

Pictures signed "H.DUCLOS "



In those days, the city life was a little different from nowadays. 

The city was completely depending from the Garonne river.

Autochrome Lumiere  photographic process was patent in 1903 by Lumiere brothers.It took 4 years to industrialize the production but once achieved the success was eminent.An average of 6000 boards/day until the 30's.
Autochrome plates required longer exposure thats why most of the cameras were under tripod and always avoiding action scenes
