EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cloud King: Or Up in the Air & Down in the Sea" is an intriguing and imaginative book cover design from the Victorian era, published by Darton and Hodge in London in 1866. The captivating illustration on the cover, created by W. Stephens Hayward, depicts a hot air balloon gracefully attached to a majestic blue whale. The whale's massive body is submerged in the water, while its head and upper back rise above the surface, providing a stable platform for the balloon to tether. This striking image embodies the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the 1860s, a time when both aeronautics and marine exploration were capturing the public's imagination. The use of gold accents and intricate details adds an air of grandeur and importance to the scene, making it a true work of art. The juxtaposition of the balloon and the whale is a testament to the boundless possibilities of human ingenuity and the natural world. It is a reminder that, even in the most unlikely of circumstances, we can find ways to explore new heights and depths. The Cloud King invites us to dream, to imagine, and to venture beyond the ordinary. This beautiful and thought-provoking book cover design is a treasure from the National Aerospace Library at The Royal Aeronautical Society, and is now available to view and download through Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the history of aeronautics, travel, and design, and is sure to inspire and delight.
