EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking promotional poster, titled 'What the Nation Should Do To Be First in Aviation?' was created by Colonel S.F. Cody for a lecture held at Caxton Hall in Westminster, London, during the early 20th century. The poster, which measures 17 inches by 23 inches, is a rare find from the Samuel Cody Archive and showcases the passion and excitement surrounding the nascent field of aviation. Colonel Cody, a pioneering figure in early aviation, is depicted in military uniform, seated confidently in a red and blue striped chair. Surrounding him are animated pictures and illustrated scenes that illustrate the potential of aviation, from kites and model aeroplanes to full-sized aircraft in flight. The lettering is bold and clear, with the words 'The Kite & Model Aeroplane Association' prominently displayed. The poster was produced by The Kite & Model Aeroplane Association and advertises a lecture by Colonel Cody, who was also known as Lieutenant Trollope. The event took place at Caxton Hall, a well-known venue for lectures and meetings in London. The poster's call to action encourages the nation to take an active role in the development of aviation, reflecting the sense of national pride and competition that characterized this period of innovation and discovery. This poster is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation and the excitement and anticipation surrounding the potential of flight. Its vibrant colors, animated illustrations, and clear typography make it a visually striking and engaging piece that continues to captivate viewers today.
