EDITORS COMMENTS
A Trip to Mars: Winging a Winged Martian" by Fenton Ash, dated 1909, is a captivating and imaginative piece of early science fiction art that transports us to the Red Planet. In this intriguing illustration, a human explorer, with a determined expression and outstretched arms, is seen soaring through the Martian sky on the back of a winged Martian creature. The artist's use of rich colors and dynamic composition creates a sense of excitement and adventure, as if we are right there with the explorer on this extraordinary journey. The book from which this image is taken is likely one of the many works of science fiction that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the idea of space travel was still a fantasy. These stories fueled the public's imagination and paved the way for the scientific and technological advancements that would eventually make space exploration a reality. Fenton Ash was a prolific and influential illustrator of the time, known for his imaginative and detailed works. His illustrations graced the pages of many popular magazines and books, including those featuring stories of interplanetary travel. "A Trip to Mars: Winging a Winged Martian" is just one example of Ash's ability to bring the fantastical to life, and it remains a fascinating glimpse into the dreams and aspirations of an era that dared to imagine the impossible. This print is a testament to the power of the human spirit to explore the unknown, to push boundaries, and to reach for the stars. It is a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, we have the ability to dream, to imagine, and to create. And who knows, perhaps one day we will truly be able to wing our way to Mars on the back of a winged Martian creature, just as this intrepid explorer does in Fenton Ash's captivating illustration.
