EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1843 takes us back to a time when dreams of flight were just beginning to take shape. The image showcases the innovative design for a steam-powered flying machine by Henson and Stringfellows, two pioneers in aviation history. The intricate details of this remarkable contraption are brought to life through the print. With its webbed tail measuring an impressive 15.24 meters and a rudder positioned beneath it, the aircraft exudes both elegance and functionality. At the heart of this invention lies a powerful steam engine housed within a car-like structure, which drives two sets of vanes with pink accents that span 6.09 meters in diameter. What truly stands out is the sheer magnitude of this flying marvel - boasting an expansive wing area covering over 418 square meters! It's no wonder that such an ambitious creation was met with awe and fascination during its time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we can't help but appreciate how far we've come in our quest for flight. This lithograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity, reminding us that even in the early days of aviation experimentation in Somerset, England, individuals like Henson and Stringfellows dared to dream big and push boundaries. Let this image transport you back to an era where imagination took flight long before commercial use became commonplace – where innovation soared above all else.
