* Santos-Dumont (Alberto, 1873-1932). A rare painted plaster caricature figurine of Santos-Dumont, looking slightly downwards with hands raised so as to grip the rim of the original wicker work balloon basket, with orig. suspension strings, c. 1910, the figurine shows Santos-Dumont dressed in familiar brown double-breasted jacket with high collar shirt and tie, with orig. straw boater (somewhat dust soiled), approx. 6in (15cm) tall, some old damage. Alberto Santos-Dumont (1873-1932) was a Brazilian early pioneer of aviation. He designed, built and flew the first practical dirigible balloons. In doing so he became the first person to demonstrate that routine, controlled flight was possible. This “conquest of the air”, in particular winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on October 19, 1901 on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him a celebrity in Europe and throughout the world. He won several more prizes and became a friend to millionaires, aviation pioneers, and royalty. The public eagerly followed his daring exploits. Parisians affectionately dubbed him le petit Santos. The fashionable folk of the day mimicked various aspects of his style of dress from his high collared shirts to singed Panama hat. He was, and remains to this day, a prominent folk hero in his native Brazil. (1)
