Bordeaux Aviation Croix d'Hins Ruchonnet & Arnaud de Pontac Antoinette Ancien Document Photo 1910
Vintage anonymous amateur photo glued on paper with a poem dedicated to Arnaud de Pontac hand-written on the back:

A l'aviateur Arnaud de Pontac

Tu vis être fol et volage,
Moi, je te nomme vol au vent;
Et je t'aime après comme avant
L'aéroplane est de ton age!

Mais l'apothéose en nuage
M'est un rêve trop décevant;
Suis-je sur d'achever vivant
Mon grand sonnet dans ce voyage ?

From the archives of french aviation pioneer Arnaud de Pontac.
