EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Double Ascent and Night Entertainment" takes us back to the enchanting Royal Gardens of Vauxhall in London on a memorable evening of September 4th, 1838. The print, part of the Private Collection by English School from the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary event. As darkness falls over the gardens, we witness a breathtaking spectacle unfold before our eyes. The night sky is illuminated with an array of vibrant hot air balloons gracefully ascending into the heavens. These magnificent balloons serve as floating billboards adorned with advertisements that add a touch of whimsy to this already magical scene. Amongst these floating wonders are two notable balloons: the Coronation Balloon and the Royal Nassau Balloon. They symbolize both British pride and European unity as they soar above Vauxhall Gardens. This image truly encapsulates a moment in history when ballooning was at its zenith and captured public fascination across Great Britain. The typography used in these printed advertisements adds an extra layer of charm to this visual masterpiece. It showcases not only advancements in aeronautics but also highlights how advertising has become an integral part of society's entertainment experience. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era where hot air balloons graced London's skies and brought joy to all who beheld them. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to captivate us with its ability to preserve
