Reviews

"Many of the black-and-white panoramas reproduced here from his original glass-plate negatives -- images of Alpine glaciers and South African mining sites, of streets and buildings in Cairo, Zurich, Geneva and Copenhagen -- are technical as well as artistic marvels. . . . By reminding us of the many obstacles he overcame, the editors have performed a valuable service. Spelterini mastered his risky profession, steering these whimsical vehicles through all kinds of weather, without killing himself or others during more than 550 flights. By unearthing photographs that continue to excite our gaze, this book restores the forgotten aeronaut to his deserved place as a pioneer of luxurious travel across the heavens."--Richard Woodward "New York Times" (3/3/2008 12:00:00 AM)
