Drama in the Air (1904, dir. Gaston Velle) (via)

“Who are nobler than the martyrs of science?” cried the lunatic. “They are canonized by posterity!”

(May this terrible narrative, though instructing those who read it, not discourage the explorers of the air.)

-Jules Verne, Drama in the Air (1851)

These are pretty neat stills. Though I actually really like the “who are nobler than the martyrs of science?” quote.
