LOC: note typo in transcription of airship name "Parseval"
In this copy, Bain has redacted the source info, May & Co.'s postcard 300.
The unredacted photo is reproduced by Flickr user DesertBlooms here:

Part of postcard series elsewhere in Bain Collection of pre WWI British airplanes and airships.
And here's some motion picture footage:

Parseval was the name of the designer, and there were 22 such ships built. This one could be the PL-18 No. 4

artolog, Thank you very much for such in depth digging about the airship and the accompanying plane - and for providing great citations. We'll add more identifying information when we update this record.
