EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "M Santos Dumont's Experiments at Monte Carlo, the Accident to Balloon No 6 in the Bay of Monaco on 14 February, the Prince of Monaco's Launch rescuing the Aeronaut" by Henry Charles Seppings Wright depicts a dramatic moment in aviation history. The scene unfolds in Monte Carlo, where M Santos Dumont, also known as Alberto Santos Dumont, is conducting his pioneering experiments with airships. On that fateful day of 14 February, tragedy strikes as Balloon No 6 suffers an accident and crashes into the picturesque Bay of Monaco. In this gripping image, we witness the perilous situation faced by the aeronaut aboard the ill-fated balloon. However, hope emerges from an unexpected source - none other than Prince Albert I of Monaco himself. With great courage and determination, Prince Albert launches his own vessel to rescue the stranded aeronaut. The engraving captures this heroic act amidst turbulent waters and billowing clouds above. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and bravery in pushing boundaries within aviation. Published in The Illustrated London News on 22 February 1902, this historic illustration immortalizes both Santos Dumont's groundbreaking experiments and Prince Albert's valiant rescue mission. Through its intricate details and expert craftsmanship by H C Seppings Wright, it transports us back to an era when air travel was still fraught with danger but held immense promise for future advancements.
