EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing group portrait, taken on the 7th of November, 1836, a consultation is underway prior to an aerial voyage from London to Weilburg in Nassau, Germany. The image features six individuals gathered around a table, their focused expressions revealing the gravity of the situation at hand. From left to right, we see W. Prideaux, J. Hollins, W.M. James, Robert Hollond, Charles Green, and Thomas Monck Mason. Charles Green and Thomas Monck Mason would go on to make history in 1843 with their record-breaking 500-mile balloon flight in the Vauxhall Gardens, London. Hollond, an influential figure in the world of aeronautics, sponsored this groundbreaking achievement. The backdrop of the photograph shows a balloon, a testament to the ambitious plans that were being discussed in this room. The date of this consultation, 1836, predates the successful flight by seven years, indicating the extensive planning and preparation that went into this endeavor. The men in the photograph appear determined and resolute, their eyes fixed on the future and the possibilities of human flight. This image, a snapshot of a pivotal moment in aeronautical history, is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs available at Mary Evans Prints Online. It offers a unique glimpse into the world of early aviation and the pioneering spirits that drove it forward.
