EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking chromolithograph poster showcases the early aviation pioneer, Samuel Cody, with an impressive lifesize bust image. Dressed in a crisp, white military uniform, Cody gazes off to the viewer's right with his shoulder-length hair flowing from beneath his hat. The poster, part of the Samuel Cody Archive, proudly displays the inscription "S.F. Cody. F.R.M.S of Texas, U.S.A. Inventor of the Famous War Kite" below the bust image. Samuel Cody, an Englishman who made his name in the United States, was a pioneering figure in military aviation. He is best known for his invention of the War Kite, an early precursor to the helicopter, which was used for military reconnaissance during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The War Kite, depicted in the poster resting on a plinth, was a significant innovation in military technology and played a crucial role in the development of military aviation. Measuring 29 inches tall by 19 inches wide, this early 20th-century poster is a testament to Cody's groundbreaking achievements. The vibrant colors and intricate detailing of the chromolithograph technique bring the image to life, making it a captivating addition to any collection of aviation history or military memorabilia.
