EDITORS COMMENTS
Over the waves of the Atlantic: a captivating engraving captures the daring journey of two Portuguese airmen, Carlos Viegas Gago Coutinho and Artur de Sacadura Cabral, as they conquer the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. This historical print showcases their courageous voyage in three stages from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro aboard a seaplane. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness an unforeseen twist in their expedition. As they approach Brazilian soil near Saint Paul Island, fate intervenes and their trusty seaplane suffers a breakdown during landing. The dramatic scene unfolds before our eyes through intricate lines etched by an anonymous engraver for 'Le petit Journal Illustre' on April 30th, 1922. The artwork not only portrays this aviation accident but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined early 20th-century exploration. Preserved within a private collection, this exquisite print by Stefano Bianchetti offers us glimpses into history's most significant moments. Through its detailed depiction of this mishap at sea, it invites us to reflect upon the triumphs and challenges faced by those who dared to push boundaries. As we admire this piece of artistry, let us appreciate both its aesthetic value and its ability to transport us back in time—to an era when aviation was still young and every flight held untold possibilities.
