EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1859, offering a glimpse into the world of early American aviation. The focal point of the image is an impressive contraption known as "The large meter" designed specifically to measure the precise amount of gas required to inflate Thaddeus S. C. Lowe's hot air balloon. As we delve into this historical scene, we witness a group of men and women gathered around this technological marvel in awe. Their faces reflect a mix of curiosity and excitement, perhaps contemplating the possibilities that lie ahead for transportation and exploration in this new era. Set against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape, most likely New York City, one can't help but be captivated by the juxtaposition between old-world charm and cutting-edge technology. This engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. Although not explicitly mentioned, it is evident that Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe played an instrumental role in advancing aeronautical science during this time period. His dedication to pushing boundaries allowed him to soar above conventional limitations and paved the way for future advancements in aviation. In summary, this remarkable piece from 1859 encapsulates both innovation and wonderment surrounding early flight technology while paying homage to those visionaries who dared to dream beyond what was thought possible at that time.
