Rural Sports - Balloon Hunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon by an unknown artist from the collection of The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library at Mary Evans Prints Online. This humorous image depicts a group of immodestly dressed rural folk engaged in an unusual form of hunting, targeting hot air balloons instead of traditional game. The scene takes place on a country road, where a tall balloon tower reveals the absurdity of the situation. In the foreground, a man in a top hat and waistcoat, attired for the hunt, stands with a gun in hand, ready to fire at a balloon as it floats overhead. A woman in an extravagant skirt and a parasol, along with a dog, watch the scene from the back of a carriage, their faces revealing amusement and surprise. Another man, with an upturned cart, seems to have had a less successful attempt at balloon hunting. The satire in this cartoon lies in the juxtaposition of the traditional rural sports, such as hunting, with the new and seemingly impractical sport of ballooning. The cartoon also pokes fun at the immodest dress of the women, as they reveal their legs while sitting in the carriage, a stark contrast to the modest attire expected during hunting. The image, dated 1811, showcases the early days of transportation and aviation, with the hot air balloon representing a new and exciting form of travel. The cartoon's use of humor adds to the intrigue and fascination surrounding these new inventions. Overall, "Rural Sports: Balloon Hunting" is a delightful and amusing glimpse into the past, highlighting the absurdities and intrigues of early aeronautics and rural life.
