Wilbur Wright took his Flyer to Europe in 1908 and this flight, at Le Mans, was the very first example of the Wright Flyer caught on motion-picture film. Montaut was a revolutionary poster designer – the first to use speed-lines – and he became the go-to artist for all manner of auto and aviation feats until his untimely death in 1909.
