EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Frank Hedges Butler, a prominent figure in the early 20th century. Illustrated by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph was featured in Vanity Fair on December 11th, 1907. Frank Hedges Butler holds an esteemed position as the founder of the Royal Aero Club on September 24th, 1901. His contribution to aviation is undeniable and his pioneering spirit shines through in this portrait. A true balloonist at heart, he fearlessly took to the skies with hot air balloons during a time when flight was still a daring endeavor. Not only did Butler leave his mark on aviation history but he also served as the First Honorary Treasurer of the Royal Automobile Club from 1897 to 1902. This further solidifies his status as an influential individual who played a significant role in both transportation sectors. In this illustration, we see Butler portrayed with elegance and confidence befitting his accomplishments. The artist captures him holding a glass of champagne - perhaps celebrating another milestone achieved or simply enjoying life's pleasures. This remarkable piece from Vanity Fair offers us a glimpse into British society at that time and pays homage to one man's extraordinary contributions to both aviation and automobile industries.
