Vanity Fair Supplement. [Men of the Day No. 2219.] "Claudie." (C. Graham. White.)
Tec. Hentschel- Colourtype London
[n.d., 10 May 1911.]
Chromolithograph with supplementary text, sheet 380 x 260mm (15 x 10¼"), large margins.
Full length portrait of Claude Grahame-White (1879 – 1959) English pioneer of aviation, and the first to make a night flight, during the Daily Mail-sponsored 1910 London to Manchester air race. Grahame-White's interest in aviation was sparked by Louis Blériot's crossing of the English Channel in 1909. This prompted him to go to France, where he attended the Reims aviation meeting, at which he met Blériot and subsequently enrolled at his flying school. He was one of the first people to qualify as pilot in England. He reached celebrity status in April 1910 when he competed with the French pilot Louis Paulhan for the £10,000 prize offered by the Daily Mail newspaper for the first flight between London and Manchester in under 24 hours. Although Paulhan won the prize, Grahame White's achievement was widely praised.
