This print showcases William Henson's Aerial Steam Carriage of 1843, a groundbreaking invention that never took flight in its full-size version. The model depicted here, however, managed to soar through the skies thanks to the ingenuity of Henson and his partner John Stringfellow. This pioneering steam-powered flying machine represents a significant milestone in aviation history. The monochrome image has been brought to life with vibrant colors in this chromolithograph from 1910.

Henson and Stringfellow's aerial steam carriage symbolizes the ambition and determination of early aviation pioneers.

Although this particular invention did not achieve commercial success or widespread use, it remains an important testament to human innovation during the 19th century. The print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then, showcasing our progress from simple models like this one to modern-day airplanes that dominate our skies. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork by John Stringfellow and Unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness an era where dreams took flight on wings powered by steam.
