EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Samuel Franklin Cowdery, later known as Samuel Franklin Cody, a remarkable figure in American history. Born in 1867 and passing away in 1913, he was not only a Wild West showman but also an early pioneer of manned flight. The image is taken from "The Pageant of the Century" a publication from 1934 that celebrates significant individuals who shaped the course of history. In this portrait, we see Cody's determined gaze and strong presence, reflecting his adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of innovation. Hailing from Wales originally, he made his mark on the United States as an iconic showman during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Cody's legacy lies primarily in his contributions to aviation. He experimented with various flying machines and gained fame for inventing the Cody War Kites used by British forces during World War I. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for future advancements in manned flight. This archival photograph offers us a glimpse into both Cody's personal journey and America's fascination with pioneers like him. It serves as a reminder of how one individual can shape history through their determination, ingenuity, and unwavering passion for pushing boundaries beyond what was thought possible at that time.
