EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Nulli Secundus, the first British military steerable balloon (dirigible), which was built between 1905 and 1907. The dirigible, also known as Dirigible No. 2, was a remarkable achievement of its time and symbolized Britain's advancements in aviation. In this image, we witness the grandeur of the Nulli Secundus as it soars through the sky with grace and power. Its vibrant colors stand out against the backdrop of London's skyline, capturing the imagination of onlookers below. However, despite its triumphs, tragedy struck shortly after when a fierce gale at Crystal Palace destroyed this magnificent airship. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human ingenuity and vulnerability in our pursuit of flight. The cigarette card format adds to its historical significance, providing us with a glimpse into how aviation was celebrated during that era. The chromolithograph technique used to produce this print enhances its visual appeal by bringing out vivid hues and intricate details. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Britain's pioneering spirit but also of how far we have come in terms of air transport and technology since those early days. It is an homage to an important chapter in aviation history that continues to inspire future generations fascinated by flight.
