EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Amazing flying machines", we are transported back in time to the enchanting era of Victorian England. The hand-coloured engraving showcases an extraordinary scene, where a distinguished gentleman donning a top hat and waistcoat defies gravity with his magnificent invention – a pair of colossal wings. With grace and confidence, he soars through the sky, leaving onlookers below awestruck and amazed. The artist's attention to detail is evident as we observe the intricate engravings that bring this fantastical moment to life. The vibrant colors used to enhance the image add depth and vibrancy to every element captured within the frame. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice two figures gazing up at the airborne spectacle with expressions of both astonishment and alarm. One figure clutches tightly onto a pitchfork, perhaps fearing this audacious feat challenges their understanding of what is possible. This remarkable piece belongs to the Cecil Victor Shadbolt collection of lantern slides dating from 1882-1892 held by Historic England Archive. It serves as a testament not only to human imagination but also reflects society's fascination with technological advancements during that period. As we admire this engraving today, it invites us into an era where dreams took flight alongside these amazing flying machines. It reminds us that even in times long past, innovation has always been at humanity's core – pushing boundaries and inspiring future generations towards new horizons yet unexplored.
