Flying at Hendon - A Captivating Glimpse into Early 20th Century Aviation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and captivating advertising poster, created by British artist Cyrus Cuneo in 1914, takes us back to the thrilling era of early aviation. Measuring an impressive 102x64 cm, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from the famous Hendon Airfield in London. The artwork depicts a bustling atmosphere with people of all ages and backgrounds eagerly gathered to witness the marvels of flight. Against a backdrop of vintage locomotives and railway tracks, a biplane soars through the sky, its propellers spinning vigorously. The artist skillfully captures the excitement and energy surrounding this new form of transportation. Amongst the crowd are men and women dressed in their finest attire, captivated by this extraordinary spectacle. A mid-adult man can be seen waving enthusiastically as if bidding farewell to those embarking on this daring adventure. Meanwhile, a poised woman stands confidently amidst the commotion, her hand gesture suggesting she is partaking in some form of communication equipment. Cuneo's attention to detail is evident not only in his portrayal of individuals but also in his meticulous lettering that adorns the poster. This advertisement serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an effective promotional tool for air shows held at Hendon Airfield during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it transports us back to an era where aviation was still considered awe-inspiring and groundbreaking—a testament to human ingenuity pushing boundaries beyond imagination.
