EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate design of Henson and Stringfellow's Aerial Steam Carriage, a groundbreaking invention that marked a significant milestone in the history of flight. Patented by British inventors William Samuel Henson (1812-1888) and John Stringfellow (1799-1883) in 1842, this flying machine was envisioned as a means of personal transportation in the skies. The Aerial Steam Carriage was a marvel of Victorian engineering, featuring a large boiler with multiple sections as depicted in this image. The steam-powered machine was designed to lift off the ground using a series of fans and wings, providing lift through the Bernoulli effect. Although the Aerial Steam Carriage was not successfully flown during the inventors' lifetime, it laid the foundation for future aviation innovations. This sectional view of the boiler offers a unique glimpse into the complex engineering behind this pioneering flying machine, showcasing the intricate design and precision required to bring such a vision to life in the 1840s.
