EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly remarkable moment in history - an illustration from Francis Godwin's "The Man in the Moone". Dating back to 1638, this hand-coloured engraving showcases the ingenuity and imagination of the Victorian era. In this scene, we witness Domingo Gonsales, a Spanish nobleman, defying gravity as he is lifted high into the sky by a flock of geese. The image exudes a sense of wonder and awe as it transports us to a time when flight was nothing more than a dream. The meticulous details in the illustration bring every feathered creature to life, their wings outstretched with determination and strength. It is both whimsical and thought-provoking, reminding us that even centuries ago, humans yearned for freedom above all else. Preserved within the Cecil Victor Shadbolt collection of lantern slides dating from 1882-1892 at Historic England Archive, this rare gem offers us insight into how our ancestors envisioned flight long before it became reality. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece of artistry, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also its ability to inspire our own dreams of soaring through the skies.
