EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures quite an early type of waterplane as it embarks on a trial flight from Hampstead Ponds in London, around 1918 or 1919. The artist behind this whimsical depiction is W Heath Robinson, known for his humorous and imaginative illustrations. Taken from "The Wonder Book of Aircraft for Boys and Girls" edited by Harry Golding, this image showcases the British ingenuity and fascination with aviation during the early 20th century. In this comical scene, passengers eagerly board the unconventional aircraft while spectators watch in awe. With its peculiar design and exaggerated features, the waterplane seems to defy logic as it prepares to take off into the skies above Camden. This monochrome print not only represents a test flight but also serves as a metaphor for human inventiveness and our relentless pursuit of progress. W Heath Robinson's artistic style adds an amusing touch to this historic moment in air transport history. His attention to detail highlights both the scientific advancements made at that time and the lightheartedness surrounding these new flying machines. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how far aviation has come since then while appreciating the creativity that sparked its beginnings.
