ANONYMOUS EXPOSITION INTERNATIONALE DU NORD DE LA FRANCE / ROUBAIX. 1911. 40 3/4x29 1/4 inches. Camis, Paris. Condition B / B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins and image; multiple restored pin-holes in corners; minor losses in top margin; crease through top right corner. An exceptional and rare image from the early days of aviation in which a biplane is illuminating the fairgrounds at night. While this event was not an "air meet," the use of an airplane in the advertising indicates of the allure that flying had for the French.
