Celebrate the pioneering age of flight with this restored and colourised Aeronautics: Balloons and Airships print.
The composition presents 17 numbered historical illustrations, tracing the development of ballooning, dirigibles, Zeppelins and parachutes from the first Montgolfier experiments of 1783 through to the celebrated passenger airships of the early twentieth century.
Each aircraft is set against a softly rendered sky and accompanied by a carefully typeset English historical key. Warm ivory margins, delicate period detail and restrained heritage colour give the print the appearance of an original illustrated encyclopaedia plate, while the large-format remaster provides a strong statement piece for contemporary interiors.
Ideal for aviation enthusiasts, historians, pilots, engineers, collectors and anyone drawn to the romance of early flight.
