Slightly different sizes: approximately 4.67 by 3.05 & 4.69 by 3.15 inches, respectively, suggesting they were printed in different sheets and hand-cut.

PARIS. "Wellman Hersey & Lahm // 9/5 - 1906" in preparation for the historic race which started from Tuileries Paris France on September 30th; real photo carte postale including both eventual winners of the First Gordon Bennett International Balloon Race. Major Henry B. Hersey of the Rough Riders & Walter Wellman were just back from the first ever Arctic balloon expedition. The balloon showing was owned by Frank Purdy Lahm; because he could not race, he was replaced by his son Lieutenant Frank Lahm from a cavalry training base in France. [It is not absolutely clear whether Frank Purdy Lahm is in the image, but the prominent passenger in the basket is uniformed, so we know him to be Lieutenant Lahm.] The idea of the race was to fly over the English Channel as far as possible into Britain. Hersey jumped into the balloon literally at the last minute, because Lt. Lahm's planned assistant was declared ineligible. The winning distance was 410 miles, accomplished by Lt. Lahm & Hersey, ending at Fylingdales England. Oxidation consistent with captioned age; light inconsequential album toning near edges of both sides. $80.00 brf(p)
