Grande Festa da Aviação. ca. 1913.
These colorful plumes of smoke announce a Brazilian air meet organized by the French aviation pioneer Lucien Deneau. According to the tip-on, Deneau "was the only one who, until today, landed in an artillery barracks and who flew over one city to the other." Throughout 1913, Deneau stunned Brazilians with various flights across the country in his Blériot 50 HP. According to one report, Deneau was so beloved that there was talk of gifting him another Blériot to convince him to stay in Brazil, but alas, he returned to France. Rare!
