EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the exhilarating moment of Mr. Green's balloon ascent, which took place on a memorable Monday in the 19th century. The image showcases the awe-inspiring sight of the hot air balloon gracefully rising into the London sky, against the backdrop of Cremorne House. The artist skillfully portrays the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as spectators gathered to witness this extraordinary event. The finely detailed depiction allows us to imagine ourselves among those fortunate enough to witness this remarkable feat firsthand. As we gaze at this historical print, we are transported back in time to an era when ballooning was still a relatively new and daring endeavor. We can almost feel the heat from the burning flames that propelled Mr. Green's balloon upwards, defying gravity and capturing imaginations. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on August 2nd, 1845, ensuring that readers across England could marvel at Mr. Green's audacious adventure. This artwork serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unyielding desire for exploration. Now preserved within a private collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. It reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our enduring fascination with conquering new frontiers - both literal and metaphorical.
