Éilis Kirby for EAK Press UK
Aircraft Illustrated I
An EAK representative selected the magazines. Her choice was made mainly on aesthetic grounds but it was also due the
appeal of the subject matter. The magazines deal with aircraft and flight at a time when it was still romantic and exciting and
we humans were blissfully unaware of its detrimental effects on our environment. Flying was to be celebrated, it was pure and
'uplifting' (excuse the pun), it was the future and we were blissfully ignorant.

However, when she tried to decide how to alter, or 'regenerate', her selection, our representative found that she did not want
to destroy them in any way. So, she kept putting them away untouched, not able to come to a decision. Finally, she realised
that it was the images that were important; they needed to be shown off in some way. So, she decided that the logical thing
to do was to literally bring them off the page and back to life to be admired and enjoyed. This approach had the added benefit
of allowing EAK Press to remove the bulk of the contents of the magazines to, rather selfishly, keep for future projects.
