EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the daring expedition of John Wise and his three companions as they embarked on a mission to prove that a west-to-east crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was possible. The year is 1859, and against the backdrop of St. Louis, Missouri, these pioneers set off with unwavering determination. The image showcases a contemporary wood engraving that beautifully depicts "The Atlantic" their remarkable balloon. Suspended in mid-air, it exudes an air of adventure and possibility. With its intricate details, we can almost feel the excitement radiating from this historic vessel. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era where aviation was still in its infancy. This engraving serves as both testament to human ingenuity and a symbol of mankind's relentless pursuit for progress. Intriguingly, this image also highlights elements such as propellers and maritime influences that played crucial roles during this audacious journey across vast oceans. It reminds us not only of Wise's ambition but also pays homage to those who paved the way for modern transportation systems. Let this print serve as inspiration - reminding us that dreams can be realized through courage, innovation, and unwavering determination.
