4305firstplanea.jpg (26663 bytes) 4305firstplaneb.jpg (16865 bytes) 4305firstplanec.jpg (18885 bytes) 4305firstplaned.jpg (20396 bytes) An incredible lithograph of a rather fanciful flight. On the bottom: "By permission of the patentees, this engraving of The First Carriage, The "Ariel", is respectfully inscribed to the directors of The Ariel Transit Company, by their obedient servants Ackermann & Co. London. Published March 28th 1843 by Ackermann & Co. 96 Strand" Looks like a lithograph. Has been framed a long time. Mat has faded, and probably should be replaced, frame has some paint chips, and could stand to be repainted or replaced. Frame 16 1/4 x 18 5/8 inches. Picture inside the mat is 11 x 13 1/2 inches. Light yellowing of the print, some of the coloring may have faded as I have seen this same print on one of the Aviation museum websites, and it had stronger coloring, but I think the print was hand colored, and the artists may not have used as much color in the one I have. The Ariel was developed by William Samuel Henson and John Stringfellow, and patented in 1842. A small model of the plane may have flown on a wire, but larger models were unsuccessful. The full size version was not built.  $125.00 item #4305
