EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Minerva, design for a flying ship" takes us back to the early 19th century when Belgian balloonist and stage magician Etienne-Gaspard Robert (also known as Professor Robertson) envisioned an extraordinary invention. Created in 1804, this illustration showcases Robert's imaginative concept of a flying ship. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life this fantastical creation. The airship is adorned with elegant curves and intricate patterns, resembling a mythical creature soaring through the skies. Its majestic presence evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity. Etienne-Gaspard Robert was not only an accomplished balloonist but also a renowned stage magician. His unique combination of skills allowed him to push the boundaries of human imagination and create awe-inspiring spectacles that captivated audiences. Displayed in Curiouser and Curiouser, a Catalogue of Strange Books and Curious Titles published by Maggs Bros in London in 1932, this engraving stands as testament to both Robert's inventive mind and his ability to capture people's imaginations across different centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with flight and exploration. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, individuals like Etienne-Gaspard Robert dared to dream beyond what seemed possible at the time.
