EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of aviation - "A Group of Aeronauts". In the center stands Vincenzo Lunardi, a renowned Italian balloonist who made his mark on history from 1759 to 1806. Surrounding him are a group of enthusiastic ballooning enthusiasts, each with their own unique role and contribution to this groundbreaking event. From left to right, we see John Mitchellja, whose passion for flight is evident in his eyes. Next to him stands James Tytler, a chemist who undoubtedly played an essential part in ensuring the success of Lunardi's ascent. John Spottiswood, a Magistrate known for his support of innovative ventures, proudly joins this esteemed group. James Nielson and Myles M Phail add their distinct expertise as caddy and tavern keeper respectively - perhaps they provided much-needed refreshments or logistical assistance during this extraordinary endeavor. The etching by John Kay beautifully captures the spirit and excitement surrounding ballooning at that time. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to October 10th, 1785 when Edinburgh witnessed an awe-inspiring feat that defied gravity itself. This photograph serves as a testament not only to the bravery and ingenuity of these individuals but also to humanity's unyielding desire for exploration and discovery. The Universal Images Group (UIG) has once again preserved an invaluable piece of our collective history through this remarkable print from their Archive collection
