EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous day in history, capturing the excitement and wonder of early aviation. The hand-coloured lantern slide showcases Shadbolts balloon Reliance, poised for takeoff from the picturesque grounds of Alexandra Palace. Crowds have gathered in anticipation, their eager faces turned towards the sky. It was on this very day, May 29th, 1882, that Cecil Victor Shadbolt embarked on an extraordinary journey that would forever change the course of aerial photography. As he ascended into the heavens aboard Reliance, equipped with his pioneering camera apparatus, he captured what may be his first-ever aerial photographs. The image itself is a testament to both human ingenuity and our insatiable curiosity about exploring new frontiers. Against a backdrop of lush greenery and architectural splendor, these magnificent balloons symbolize mankind's relentless pursuit of flight during the Victorian era. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection of lantern slides dating from 1882-1885, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when hot air balloons were at the forefront of technological advancement. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, humans possessed an unwavering desire to conquer new heights and push beyond perceived limitations. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where dreams took flight amidst gasps of awe and admiration from those fortunate enough to witness such marvels firsthand.
