Aëroplane : valse fantastique pour piano
This is wrong to open with; instead: A piano waltz titled Aëroplane, composed by Edmond de Makomaski and published in Warsaw by Gebethner et Wolff in 1909, with a dedication to aviator Hubert Latham. The cover shows a monoplane flying low over a coastline with a dirigible-like shape in the distance, set in a framed picture above the title lettering, and a designer might take the pale sky-and-sea engraving and bold script type as a model for early aviation ephemera.
