EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the excitement and danger of early ballooning during the 1830s, as depicted in a print from The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives entitled "Balloon event, Green and Cocking." The scene takes place on a lush, green estate, likely in England, where a grand fete is underway. In the foreground, a crowd of onlookers gathers around a large, inverted cone-shaped balloon, its circumference stretched tautly over a basket. The balloon, filled with hot air, is being prepared for an ascent. In the background, another balloon, piloted by a man identified as Mr. Charles Green, ascends gracefully into the sky. The event, held on a Monday in early July of 1837, was a popular form of transportation and entertainment in the Victorian era. However, the thrill of flight came with risks. Tragically, this particular day ended in tragedy when, during the descent, a parachute failed to deploy, and a passenger, identified as Mr. Nassau, was killed. The invention of the parachute was still in its infancy, and accidents like this were all too common. Despite the danger, the allure of ballooning continued to draw crowds. The music plays on, and the festivities continue, a poignant reminder of the human spirit's insatiable desire for exploration and discovery, even in the face of adversity. This historic print, preserved by The Royal Aeronautical Society, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of innovation and adventure.
