As the sea had mermaids, the air will have its evil spirits which will lead them headlong to ruin
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking colour litho print by Joaquin Xaudaru y Echau. This artwork, created in the early twentieth century, explores the dangers and perils associated with aviation. The illustration depicts a scene where mythical creatures known as mermaids are replaced by malevolent spirits lurking in the air. These evil entities symbolize the potential risks and accidents that can occur in flight. The artist's intention seems to be highlighting how advancements in technology, such as airplanes, bring their own set of challenges and consequences. Xaudaru's satirical drawing combines elements of fantasy and reality to convey a powerful message about human ambition and its consequences. The dilapidated ruins surrounding the aircraft serve as a reminder of what can happen when humans push boundaries without considering the potential dangers. This artwork also reflects society's fascination with aviation during this period. It captures both awe-inspiring wonderment at flying machines while cautioning against recklessness or overconfidence. Overall, "As the sea had mermaids, the air will have its evil spirits which will lead them headlong to ruin" invites viewers to contemplate our relationship with technology and reminds us that progress often comes at a price.
