About this product

Product Information

Artist, inventor, publisher, writer and sometime philosopher, Rufus Porter was a veritable poor man's Leonardo da Vinci. He founded ( and immediately sold) the magazine Scientific American, left a vigorous trail of mural art across the New England states, and built what was probably the first working model of a power-driven airship. His plans for this 'aerial locomotive' or 'Aeroport' were set in two pamphlets published in 1849 and 1850 -- both of which are now rare and sought after pieces of Americana. They are reprinted in this handsome edition limited to 2000 copies with illustrations and notes from originals owned by the Minnesota Historical Society.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
