EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Parachute, with Mr Cocking, in the Three Stages of the Descent" takes us back to a daring moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal event that unfolded on August 25,1888. Mr Cocking, a courageous individual of his time, is depicted in three distinct stages as he descends from great heights using a parachute. The image showcases the thrilling and perilous journey one would undertake when venturing into the skies with nothing but fabric and ropes for protection. The illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine and stands as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of adventure and exploration. It serves as both an awe-inspiring reminder of human ingenuity and a cautionary tale about the risks involved in early aviation experiments. As we gaze upon this historic artwork now housed within a private collection, we are transported to an era where hot air balloons ruled the skies and individuals like Mr Cocking pushed boundaries fearlessly. This engraving invites us to reflect on our own aspirations and reminds us that sometimes it is through taking calculated risks that we can truly soar above all limitations.
