One of the most unique receptions
ever produced by the Photographic art
is a piece of work by the Florida Pho
tographic Concern, of Fort Pierce,
which was exhibited in this city the past
week. 1t is a view showing "the first
air-ship passing over Fort Pierce"
Two views are shown one as tine air
ship is over the Bank of Fort Pierce
and another over the city dock. In
both views can be seen citizens of Fort
Pierce gazing intently on the airship
which Is apparently several hundred
feet high. So clear, real and apparently
genuine is the picture that many of our
citizens have been deceived, and have
expressed surprise that so important
an event had occurred without the
general knowledge of the public. 1t is
certainly tribute to the ability of our
local photographers, who are having the
pict,lres cOpvriphted.
