EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an artistic rendering of The Aerial Steam Carriage, or Ariel, an early conception of a flying machine designed by British inventors William Samuel Henson and John Stringfellow. The image, granted by permission of the inventors, presents an imaginative representation of their invention, which was patented in 1842. The Aerial Steam Carriage, an intriguing precursor to modern aviation, is illustrated with propeller-driven wings. The design, inspired by the steam power that revolutionized transportation on land and sea, aimed to harness the power of steam to lift and propel a vehicle through the air. The print bears a dedication to the Directors of the Aerial Transit Company, although it should be noted that this company was not established until after the patent was granted. The inventors' vision of flying machines was ambitious, and their design was a significant step towards the development of heavier-than-air flight. Despite the artistic license taken with the representation, the print offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation and the pioneering spirit of inventors like Henson and Stringfellow. Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation for future innovations and the eventual realization of powered flight.
