EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by an unknown artist in early September of 1850, depicts the exhilarating moment of Charles Green's daring hot air balloon ascent at Rotherhithe, London. Known as the 'Father of Modern Ballooning,' Green was a pioneer in the field of aeronautics, having made his first successful balloon flight in 1836. The image captures the grandeur and excitement of the event, with a large crowd gathered to witness the spectacle. The red balloon, filled with hot air, is seen ascending into the night sky, its flames casting an otherworldly glow over the scene. The Victorian era's sense of wonder and fascination with transportation and exploration is palpable in this image. The balloon's ascent was accompanied by a grand display of fireworks, adding to the sense of celebration and excitement. The event took place during a time when air travel was still in its infancy, and the ability to take to the skies was a true marvel. Charles Green's ballooning exploits were a source of inspiration for many, including the young Prince Albert, who would go on to become a patron of the Aeronautical Society. The Society, which was founded in 1866, would go on to play a significant role in the development of aviation technology. This photograph, held by The Royal Aeronautical Society's National Aerospace Library, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of ballooning and the sense of adventure and wonder that drove pioneers like Charles Green to take to the skies.
