Monck Masons Airship
The Victoria, an early airship built by English aviator Thomas Monck Mason, 1843. American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) used Monck Mason and his airship as the basis for his famous Balloon Hoax in which he wrote an article in the New York Sun, 13th April 1844, claiming Monck Mason had crossed the Atlantic in the Victoria in three days.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Monck Masons Airship, also known as The Victoria. Built by English aviator Thomas Monck Mason in 1843, this early airship holds a significant place in history. It served as the inspiration for American author Edgar Allan Poe's famous Balloon Hoax, published on April 13th, 1844, in the New York Sun. In his article, Poe claimed that Monck Mason had successfully crossed the Atlantic in just three days aboard The Victoria. This audacious tale captured the imagination of readers and solidified both Mason's airship and Poe's literary prowess. The image itself captures the grandeur of this pioneering mode of transportation. Standing tall and proud against a backdrop of buildings, The Victoria is a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. Two figures can be seen near its base, perhaps representing pilot and crew or simply adding scale to emphasize its impressive size. This archival photograph transports us back to an era when air travel was still a distant dream for most people. It serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit of progress and exploration throughout history. Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or appreciate literature's influence on culture, this stunning print is sure to spark curiosity and ignite your imagination with tales from a bygone era.
