Created by Joaquin Xaudaru y Echau in the early twentieth century, this colour lithograph is a satirical cartoon that humorously depicts witches as pioneers of flight. The image portrays a group of sorceresses soaring through the sky on broomsticks, defying gravity with their magical abilities. The artist cleverly combines elements of fantasy and technology, showcasing fighter aircraft alongside these mythical figures. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing commentary on human progress and innovation. With its vibrant colours and detailed illustrations, this artwork not only entertains but also invites viewers to reflect on our fascination with flight throughout history. It reminds us that even in ancient times, humans have always yearned for the ability to soar above the clouds. As part of Les Peripeties de L Aviation by J Xaudaro, this illustration captures the essence of satire and caricature while celebrating legendary tales from folklore. It serves as a reminder that art has long been used as a medium for storytelling and social commentary. Overall, this print offers a whimsical glimpse into a world where witches take center stage in aviation history – an imaginative blend of mythic lore and technological advancements.
