Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, inventor

Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (1838-1917), German inventor of the airship. Von Zeppelin conceived the idea of confining the hot air balloon, first developed in 1783, within a cigar- shaped aluminium structure and providing the airship with an internal combustion engine and a propeller. The first flight of the von Zeppelin dirigible took place on 2 July 1900. The cotton- covered balloon was 128 metres long. Between 1900 and 1939, 52, 000 people travelled a total of 2 million kilometres in such airships. The accident of the Hindenburg dirigible, which burst into flames in 1937, brought the fashion for airships to an end

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the visionary genius of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the German inventor who revolutionized air travel. Pioneering the concept of confining a hot air balloon within a sleek aluminum structure, Von Zeppelin's creation marked a significant milestone in aviation history. With an internal combustion engine and propeller powering his dirigible, he embarked on its first flight on 2 July 1900. Measuring an impressive 128 meters in length, this cotton-covered balloon became the embodiment of Von Zeppelin's groundbreaking vision. Over the course of nearly four decades, from 1900 to 1939, these majestic airships transported over 52,000 people across a staggering distance of two million kilometers. However, tragedy struck with the infamous Hindenburg disaster in 1937 when fire engulfed the dirigible during landing. This catastrophic event brought an abrupt end to the era of airships and their popularity waned. In this remarkable illustration by Science Photo Library, we witness Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin himself - a distinguished figure exuding intellect and determination. His contribution to aeronautics and engineering remains unparalleled even today. As we gaze upon this historical artwork capturing one man's audacious dreams turned into reality, we are reminded of how human ingenuity can shape our world and push boundaries beyond imagination.
