The Air Ship "Santos Dumont V" circling the Eiffel Tower.
"Bringing together man's two ways of getting into the air, the one from a century just closed, the other from a century just beginning." [The balloon was really no higher than the second platform; but the camera, pointed upward, made it appear to be near the top.]
