EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of one of the pamphlets written by Vincent Lunardi in 1786. The artist, Vincenzo Lunardi himself, was a remarkable Italian aeronaut who hailed from Lucca. Known for his pioneering spirit, Lunardi published "An Account of five Aerial Voyages" in a series of letters to his guardian, Gherardo Campagni. The photograph captures the essence of this historic piece with its close-up view and detailed lettering. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to the early 20th century when this print was featured in The Connoisseur magazine. Lunardi's passion for ballooning is evident through this artwork as it depicts elements related to travel and aerial exploration. The Western script used on the title page further emphasizes its English origin. Preserved by Otto Limited and now part of The Print Collector collection, this print serves as a testament to Lunardi's legacy as both a balloonist and writer. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where literature intertwined with adventure and curiosity about the skies above.
