EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a momentous event in history - the balloon ascent from Crystal Palace. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the remarkable progress and discoveries made during this era. The Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel of its time, stands tall in the background as a symbol of human ingenuity and invention. Against this grand backdrop, a majestic hot air balloon takes flight, defying gravity and pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. This print is part of Graphic Stories of Inventions edited by M. T. Yates and published by Collins around 1900. It beautifully illustrates how balloons were not only objects of fascination but also played a significant role in shaping our understanding of flight and exploration. As we gaze upon this historical engraving, we are transported back to London during a time when inventors pushed the limits of their imaginations to conquer new frontiers. The balloon ascent from Crystal Palace represents both scientific achievement and human curiosity at its finest. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece which serves as a reminder that throughout history, it is through inventions like these that humanity has soared to new heights – quite literally!
