About the Item

"First Flight of The Airship Super Dry" Gelatin Silver Print Image: 15.0×22.4 cm Sheet: 20.2×25.1 cm Photographed in 1987 at a shipbuilding company in Mülheim, Germany; Printed in 1987 "First Flight of The Airship Super Dry" by Kazuo Kitai is a black-and-white photograph capturing a serene yet striking moment in history. The image showcases an Asahi Super Dry airship soaring above an open field, where a small group of spectators—adults and a child—stand in awe, gazing at the dirigible. The vast, open landscape and expansive sky create a sense of quiet anticipation, emphasizing the contrast between human curiosity and the grandeur of technological progress. Kitai’s signature documentary style and careful composition lend the photograph a nostalgic and contemplative quality, preserving a fleeting moment of wonder and modernity.
