Captured in a moment of mid-air majesty is Albert Leo Stevens (1873-1944), an American pioneer in aviation. This photograph print, taken by the renowned Bain News Service in 1911, showcases Stevens' remarkable skills as a professional balloon and airship pilot and stunt man. With his trusty aircraft soaring above him, Stevens gazes confidently into the lens, exuding a sense of adventure and daring-do. His rugged features are set against a stark black-and-white backdrop, emphasizing the drama and excitement of this historic moment in aviation history. As one of America's earliest aviators, Stevens was known for his death-defying stunts and record-breaking flights. This photograph print not only celebrates his remarkable achievements but also serves as a poignant reminder of the pioneering spirit that defined early 20th-century American innovation. From its glass negative roots to its final printed form, this image has been preserved in the Bain News Service Photograph Collection at the Library of Congress, ensuring that Stevens' legacy lives on for generations to come.
