EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to a momentous event in history - the first English female aerial journey. Mrs. Sage, an extraordinary woman of her time, fearlessly ascended into the skies alongside Mr. Biggin in Mr. Lunardi's balloon on June 29th, 1785. The portrait captures Mrs. Sage's half-length figure with a touch of romanticism and nostalgia that is characteristic of early 19th-century artwork. The engraving technique used by L. Shelly and Legrand adds depth and texture to this historic image, transporting us to a bygone era. As we gaze upon this enchanting illustration, we can't help but imagine the excitement and wonder that must have filled the air as Mrs. Sage embarked on her daring adventure. This brave woman defied societal norms and became an emblematic figure for women's empowerment during a time when such feats were reserved primarily for men. With its aged appearance and traditional Victorian style, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich historical heritage and the progress made over centuries past. Let this remarkable artwork inspire us to embrace our own aspirations with courage and determination while honoring those who paved the way for future generations.
