EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sadler Over The Lighthouse, Dublin, 1817" transports us back to a momentous event in history. Taken by artist Robert Havell in 1920, this photogravure captures the remarkable achievement of James Sadler as he soared above Dublin Lighthouse on his way to Holyhead on July 24th, 1817. In this image, we see Sadler standing proudly in his hot air balloon with arms outstretched and a triumphant expression on his face. His vibrant banner flutters in the wind, displaying the British flag and symbolizing both national pride and pioneering spirit. The composition is bathed in shades of blue and pink, creating an ethereal atmosphere that emphasizes the significance of this aerial accomplishment. Against the golden hues of sunset, Sadler's silhouette stands high above Dublin Harbor wall and the Irish Sea. This portrait not only showcases Sadler's solo journey but also highlights his courage and determination as a balloonist. With raised arms signaling success and triumph over adversity, he becomes an emblematic figure for human ingenuity. Preserved within the pages of "The Connoisseur Vol. LVI" this photograph serves as a testament to both technological advancements during the late 19th century and early 20th century fascination with aviation. It reminds us of our ability to conquer new frontiers while honoring those who paved the way for modern air transport.
