EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print takes us on a whimsical journey to the moon, where imagination knows no bounds. Inspired by Francis Goodwin's "Man in the Moon" this illustration depicts an adult's aspirations of flight and exploration in a truly fantastical manner. In this enchanting scene, we see a lone man seated inside a carriage suspended in mid-air. What makes this airborne vehicle even more extraordinary is that it is pulled by graceful swans, their wings beating rhythmically against the sky. The man wears a cloak billowing behind him as he embarks on his daring adventure. The artist skillfully captures the essence of fiction and history intertwined, showcasing humanity's unyielding fascination with reaching new heights. Against the backdrop of an expansive moonlit sky, our protagonist defies gravity and sets off towards uncharted territories. With watercolors bringing life to every stroke, this horizontal masterpiece evokes a sense of wonder and awe. Its vibrant colors highlight both the beauty of nature and mankind's ingenuity in creating flying machines long before aviation became reality. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Dorling Kindersley's collection, let our own imaginations take flight alongside that courageous dreamer who dared to explore beyond what was deemed possible. Let us be reminded that within each one of us lies boundless potential waiting to be unleashed into the vast expanse of discovery.
