EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the awe-inspiring moment of its launch in the Artillery Ground on November 25th, 1783. This engraving, created by an unknown artist in 1920, beautifully captures the essence of this groundbreaking event in both the 18th and 20th centuries. The image showcases a large crowd gathered outside to witness this extraordinary invention take flight. Men and women alike are filled with anticipation as they gaze up at the hot air balloon suspended above them. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and curiosity as spectators eagerly await this marvel of science to ascend into the sky. Intriguingly, amidst the sea of faces, one can spot Cecil Reginald Grundy himself - an influential figure known for his contributions to British art publications. His presence adds a personal touch to this historical moment captured on paper. The print's monochromatic color scheme emphasizes the contrast between light and shadow, enhancing our perception of depth and perspective. It transports us back in time while also reminding us of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology. This remarkable piece from "The Connoisseur Vol. LVI" serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect upon not only past achievements but also future possibilities that lie ahead in our ever-evolving world of air transport.
