EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting titled "Illustration of Eilmer (Elmer) of Malmesbury, 11th century Benedictine monk, attempting to fly" takes us back in time to witness a daring and visionary moment in history. The artist Dorling Kindersley beautifully captures the spirit of adventure and innovation as we see Eilmer, a young adult monk from the medieval era, preparing for his audacious flight. Set against a clean white background, this studio shot allows us to focus solely on the protagonist and his remarkable flying machine. With outstretched wings resembling those of birds, Eilmer's contraption embodies both ambition and risk-taking. As he stands poised for takeoff at Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire, England, one can't help but feel a sense of awe mixed with trepidation. The illustration transports us to an era when aviation was still in its infancy. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were driven by an insatiable curiosity about the possibilities beyond our earthly bounds. This image symbolizes not only the beginnings of flight but also mankind's unyielding desire to push boundaries and challenge conventional wisdom. Dorling Kindersley's masterful use of watercolors brings vibrancy and life to this historical scene. Through delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a testament
