"Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography, and autobiography, and even including two books on recreational war games. He is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback."

I love these aeroplane photos

this looks like Venice?

Harry Angstrom: It does look like this might be Venice, though it's quite indistinct. The campanile of St. Mark's and St. Mark's do appear to be the tower and domes visible in the background. Thanks for the comment!

"Good progress is being made with the hydro-aeroplane station which the Italian government is establishing in Venice. Commander Ginocchio will be in charge . . . . Six machines have been purchased in France for the station." -- Flight, November 30, 1912: www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1912/1912 - 1121.html
