EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Cupers Gardens in Lambeth, London, in the year 1746. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, this engraving captures a momentous event - the ascension of a hot air balloon. The skilled engraver Bartholemew Howlett beautifully brings this historical scene to life. Intrigued onlookers gather around as men and women cheer with excitement. The crowd is adorned in elegant attire, reflecting the fashion of that era. A grand palace stands proudly in the background while a dock can be seen nearby. The gondola of the hot air balloon hangs gracefully above them all, ready for its ascent into the sky. This remarkable feat showcases humanity's fascination with flight during this period. The image also features a coat of arms symbolizing nobility and prestige. Although not explicitly mentioned, it hints at possible connections between Spain and England during that time. This stunning illustration is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and represents an important milestone in aviation history. It serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit to conquer new frontiers through innovation and exploration.
