EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Day & Haghe, created in 1839, depicts Mr. Edward Spencer, a notable British balloonist of the Victorian era. The print showcases his adventurous spirit and daring nature as he is portrayed in mid-flight on a hot air balloon. Mr. Spencer's legacy is intertwined with tragedy, as he was one of the participants in the ill-fated parachute experiment conducted by Mr. Robert Cocking on July 24th, 1837 at Vauxhall Gardens. This event resulted in a fatal accident that claimed Cocking's life. Despite this unfortunate incident, Mr. Spencer's bravery and passion for flight are evident in this portrait. His half-length depiction exudes confidence and determination as he soars through the skies above. The lithograph captures not only the physicality of flying but also symbolizes the spirit of adventure that characterized this era of exploration and innovation. This artwork serves as a testament to both Mr. Edward Spencer's contribution to aviation history and George Perfect Harding's skillful artistry in capturing his likeness. Now preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate an important figure from history who played a significant role in pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of human flight during the Victorian period.
