EDITORS COMMENTS
To Mars Via The Moon (Mark Wicks), 1911 This illustration, titled "To Mars Via The Moon," was created by the imaginative mind of Mark Wicks in the year 1911. The image transports us to a fantastical realm where the seemingly impossible becomes a reality. At the heart of the illustration lies the Moon, with its craggy, rocky terrain and barren landscape. But this is no ordinary moon; it is a gateway to the Red Planet, Mars. A series of elaborate, intricately designed structures can be seen on its surface, connecting the lunar terrain to the vast expanse of space. The most striking feature of the illustration, however, is the group of intrepid humans in the foreground. Dressed in what appear to be early 20th-century explorer outfits, they are seen preparing for their journey to Mars. A collection of books and scientific equipment is laid out before them, suggesting that their mission is one of discovery and exploration. The humans are shown gazing up at the night sky, their eyes filled with wonder and excitement. Above them, Mars looms large, its red surface illuminated by the light of the setting sun. The contrast between the barren lunar landscape and the vibrant, alien world of Mars is a testament to the limitless possibilities of human imagination. This illustration, created over a century ago, is a reminder of the enduring human desire to explore the unknown, to push the boundaries of what is possible, and to reach for the stars. It is a beautiful and inspiring work of fiction that continues to captivate and intrigue us to this day.
