EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Nulli Secundus (Dirigible No. 2), a remarkable achievement in British military aviation history. Built at the prestigious British Army Balloon Factory in 1905, this steerable balloon represented a significant advancement in aerial technology during its time. The chromolithograph, published in 1910 as part of a set on aviation, beautifully captures the grandeur and innovation of this pioneering airship. In 1907, the Nulli Secundus embarked on a spectacular voyage over London, leaving spectators awestruck by its graceful flight through the skies. However, tragedy struck shortly after when it was tragically destroyed by a powerful gale at Crystal Palace. This unfortunate event marked an untimely end to what could have been an enduring symbol of British ingenuity and progress. The image exudes both excitement and nostalgia for an era when hydrogen-filled dirigibles ruled the skies. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering new frontiers and pushing boundaries in aviation history. As we admire this historical artifact from Universal Images Group (UIG) Archive collection today, let us remember the bravery and determination of those who dared to dream big and soar above the clouds long before modern commercial air travel became commonplace.
