EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image from The Sketch magazine, dated 1928, showcases a portrait of the pioneering American aviator Amelia Earhart by renowned society portraitist Olive Snell. Amelia Earhart, born in 1897, was a trailblazing figure in the aviation world during the Roaring Twenties. Her daring exploits and groundbreaking achievements as a female pilot captured the imagination of the public and defied societal norms of the time. Snell's portrait masterfully captures Amelia's determination and charisma, with her piercing gaze and confident posture exuding a sense of adventure and fearlessness. The monochrome palette of the cover adds to the timeless and elegant feel of the image, making it a standout piece from the era. Amelia Earhart's aviation career began in 1921 when she took her first flying lesson, and she quickly rose to fame as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. Her disappearance during an attempted circumnavigation of the globe in 1937 remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in aviation history. This cover of The Sketch magazine serves as a testament to Amelia Earhart's enduring legacy as a pioneering aviator and a symbol of female empowerment during the 1920s. Olive Snell's portrait beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this remarkable woman, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical portraits and aviation memorabilia.
