EDITORS COMMENTS
"This print depicts the First Flying Device, an intriguing invention from ancient Greece created by Archytas of Tarentum around 428-347 BC. A pioneering figure in mathematics, physics, and engineering, Archytas is best known for designing and constructing this remarkable model dove, which was believed to be the first device in history capable of sustained flight. Crafted meticulously from wood, the model dove was an engineering marvel of its time. Its wings, ingeniously designed to mimic the natural flapping motion of a real dove, were powered by a lightweight gas that filled its hollow body. This innovative design allowed the model to take flight, much to the awe and amazement of onlookers. The historical significance of Archytas' First Flying Device is immeasurable, as it marked a pivotal moment in human history. This early foray into aviation laid the groundwork for future advancements in flight technology and inspired generations of inventors and dreamers. Archytas' model dove serves as a testament to the human spirit of curiosity and innovation. It reminds us that the pursuit of knowledge and the desire to understand the world around us have driven humanity to achieve the seemingly impossible. This print is a reminder of our rich past and the limitless potential of human ingenuity." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans Prints Online. Reproduced with permission.
