EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster from The Casket, dated July 29, 1837, advertises a fascinating new publication: "A History of Parachutes, recording a full description of Mr. Cocking's Parachute, and of its Ascent, and all the Particulars of its Disastrous Descent." The image at the center of the poster showcases Mr. Cocking's parachute, an intricate and elaborate contraption designed for human flight. With its delicate fabric, intricate lines, and complex framework, the parachute appears both beautiful and precarious. The poster promises a detailed account of the parachute's use by its inventor, Mr. Cocking, and the harrowing events that followed. The description includes the specifics of the ascent, the thrill of the flight, and the heart-stopping moments of the disastrous descent. This sensationalist reporting would have captivated the public's imagination, as human flight was still a relatively new and daring concept. The poster also features an account from Charles Green, a renowned aeronautical reporter, who provides additional facts about Mr. Cocking and his historic flight. This publication would have offered readers a unique and in-depth look into the world of human flight and the daring exploits of its pioneers. The poster's intriguing design and captivating text would have enticed potential buyers, making it a valuable piece of aeronautical history.
