EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the first aeroplane in China. Illustrated from Le Petit Journal, April 1911, this colour lithograph showcases the early days of aviation and the awe-inspiring impact it had on Chinese society. The image depicts a traditional Chinese dress-clad crowd gazing up at the sky with astonishment and amazement as they witness an incredible feat of human ingenuity. The biplane soars above them, its wings cutting through the air with precision and grace. The pigtail-adorned onlookers stand in front of a majestic pagoda, symbolizing both tradition and progress. In their eyes, one can see shock mixed with curiosity - emotions stirred by witnessing this transport revolution firsthand. This groundbreaking event marked not only a technological advancement but also sparked dreams of endless possibilities for future generations. The illustration beautifully captures the feeling of surprise that must have enveloped those present during this historic moment. It serves as a reminder that innovation knows no boundaries and has the power to transcend cultures. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when flight was still considered miraculous and unattainable. It is an homage to those who dared to dream big and pushed beyond what was thought possible – forever changing our world's perception of travel and exploration.
