The image shows an early prototype of an aircraft with a single set of wings and a propeller at the front. It appears to be mounted on a simple support structure made of wood. The terrain is rough and rocky, suggesting an outdoor setting possibly used for testing. There is a person barely visible, standing immediately behind the aircraft under what seems to be a shelter or part of the aircraft's structure. At the bottom of the image, there is handwritten text that reads "Aeroplane under [illegible word] with his Royal Master on the flight & kept it from being destroyed by the enemy fire." The aircraft design and the quality of the photograph suggest an early stage in aviation history.
