EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Duncan: A Humorous Take on Early Aviation Mishaps This intriguing print by John Duncan captures the spirit of early aviation and the thrill, as well as the risks, of taking to the skies in the nascent era of flight. The image depicts a series of amusing silhouettes laid over various photographs of London, showcasing a rather disastrous trial aerial trip over the city in 1909. The scene opens with a determined-looking pilot at the helm of a rickety biplane, its propellers spinning wildly as they lift off from a makeshift airfield. The silhouette of a passenger, clad in a fashionable Edwardian outfit, can be seen clinging to the side of the aircraft, a look of terror on their face. As the plane ascends, the silhouettes of various mishaps begin to unfold. A wing comes loose, sending a group of birds scattering in panic. Another silhouette shows the plane careening out of control, its propeller slicing through a telephone wire, causing chaos below. The scene culminates in a spectacular crash landing in the heart of London, with the silhouette of the plane crashing into a red double-decker bus and the silhouettes of startled pedestrians scrambling for cover. Despite the chaos, the passengers seem to be taking the situation in stride, with one even reaching for their parasol as they exit the wreckage. This humorous print by John Duncan offers a lighthearted look at the early days of aviation, when the thrill of flight was tempered by the very real risks involved. With its intricate detail and clever use of silhouettes, "Trial Trip over London" is a delightful reminder of the early days of transport history and the indomitable human spirit that drove pioneers to take to the skies.
