Physical Description
Uncolored etching of a man flying using a glider shaped like a bird. He is aloft over water and a cliff with more bird-gliders flying in the background. A man stands on the cliff with arms outstretched, and ships are on the water. Text appears to be on the reverse of the etching, suggesting it was cut from a book or newspaper. The etching is adhered to a larger paper backing.
