$25.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Crafts

Visionary Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci designed and sketched many inventions that were centuries ahead of their time. He was obsessed with flight theory and aerodynamics, so many of his drawings were of innovative flying machines--most of which were never built during his lifetime.
