EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ascent of Bells Aerial Machine, from Vauxhall Gardens" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of early aviation. The image showcases an extraordinary moment in history when Mr. H Bell's innovative creation took flight above London's renowned Vauxhall Gardens. The scene is filled with anticipation as spectators gather around to witness this groundbreaking event. The intricate details of the aerial machine are beautifully captured, showcasing its unique design and ingenuity. With its propellers whirring and sails billowing in the wind, it stands as a testament to human curiosity and determination. The artist skillfully portrays a sense of wonderment on the faces of those below, their gazes fixed upwards towards this marvel of engineering defying gravity. It is impossible not to be awestruck by the audacity and ambition displayed in this historic moment. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 27th, 1850 - an era where airships were still considered fantastical dreams rather than reality. Today, it serves as a reminder that human imagination knows no bounds when it comes to conquering new frontiers. Preserved within private collections for generations, this print allows us to relive an important chapter in our collective journey towards mastering the skies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that innovation has always been at
