The Airship Wave as presented here a few years ago

This photo by Alfred Stieglitz caught my attention when I saw it in a photography book I have:

I've provided several postings about it and about the Airship waves of the 1890s, some bringing in a few sour comments and avid discussions:

The photo is dated 1910 but when I ran a provenance check, it turned out that the photo was taken earlier and shown in 1910 by Stieglitz at a gallery affair.

When I lived in Florida, I showed the photo to a 92 year-old artist, Fred Hoertz [1889-1978] who lived in my building and he said he had seen, when a young lad, one of the airships that was a topic at the time.

I asked him what he thought about his sighting, and his wife intervened saying "How do you expect him to remember such a thing from so long ago?"

He wanted to say something but didn't.
