EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in aviation history. Taken on the 9th of June, 1937, near Southampton in England, it showcases the awe-inspiring Empire flying boat Capella as it gracefully takes off from the Solent waters. The sheer size and power of this giant aircraft are evident as it generates an enormous wash that can be seen from a passenger seat. The image beautifully portrays the contrast between the sleek lines of the plane against the turbulent water below. The photographer's skillful composition emphasizes both the magnitude of this airborne vessel and its ability to conquer both air and sea. As one gazes at this historic snapshot, they cannot help but marvel at mankind's ingenuity in creating such a magnificent mode of transportation. This photograph transports us back to an era when flying boats were at their peak, symbolizing progress, adventure, and boundless possibilities. With no people visible in the frame, we are left solely with nature's elements - water and air - harmoniously coexisting while witnessing human innovation unfold before our eyes. It is an archival piece that encapsulates not only a specific time period but also represents our eternal fascination with conquering new frontiers. This stunning print by Hudson serves as a testament to human achievement and reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of aviation exploration.
