Leonardo da Vinci’s 500th Anniversary!
One of the great geniuses of Western civilization, Leonardo da Vinci was the true Renaissance man! In addition to his abundant artistic skills, he was a visionary scientist and mechanical engineer who theorized the development of flying machines and solar power. In acknowledgment of the 500th anniversary of his death in 1519, Dover publications proudly presents two new releases below that bring his “Extraordinary Machines” to life!
Leonardo da Vinci: Extraordinary Machines by David Hawcock
6 incredible Pop-ups offer 3-D reconstructions of some of Leonardo’s most famous mechanical inventions, all based on the master’s actual drawings and accompanied by his notes. (Catalog # 0486832368)
Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine Kit by David Hawcock
Painter, architect, scientist, inventor—Leonardo da Vinci was consumed with a boundless desire for knowledge. The power of flight was a particular source of fascination for him, and his close studies of bird anatomy and movement informed his development of the ornithopter — a winged, human-powered aircraft. You can create a fully working model of the inventor’s amazing creation. This self-contained model kit features a 48-page book with details from Leonardo’s notebooks plus full-color, easily joined components. Once assembled, the wings flap by turning a crank. Like the prototype, your model won’t actually fly, but you’ll have an amazing replica of one of the Renaissance genius’s most famous futuristic inventions! (Catalog # 0486836479)
