EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by G. H. Davis and featured in H. G. Wells' renowned book "The Outline of History" takes us back to the early days of aviation in 1920. The image showcases a Handley Page Machine, part of the London-Paris Air Service, as it gracefully passes over the iconic Crystal Palace on its inward journey. In this vivid color print, we witness the marvels of human ingenuity and progress as this winged machine soars through the sky with its propellers spinning vigorously. The biplane's wings stretch wide against a backdrop of clear blue skies, symbolizing mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering new frontiers. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are transported to an era where air travel was still a novelty and evokes a sense of awe and wonderment. The green landscape below serves as a reminder that England is both the birthplace and destination for this remarkable feat. Ken Welsh's expert touch brings out every detail in this vertical scene, allowing us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the aircraft but also capturing our imagination about how far aviation has come since then. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it represents a significant milestone in human history – one that forever changed our perception of distance and time.
