EDITORS COMMENTS
This print advertises the 74th ascent of renowned aeronaut, Charles Green, in Macclesfield on the early Tuesday of July 3, 1827. The event, held under the patronage of the Mayor and Magistrates, took place near the Gas Works at Waters Green. Green, a pioneer in the field of ballooning during the 1820s, gained fame for his daring flights using hydrogen-filled balloons. The handbill, adorned with intricate illustrations, promises an exciting day of transportation through the air. Green's popularity was such that there was a possibility of a reascent later the same day, further enticing the crowds. The event was not for commercial gain but rather for the thrill and wonderment of flight. The image of the balloon ascending against the backdrop of the town and surrounding countryside conveys the sense of adventure and anticipation that would have gripped the people of Macclesfield and beyond. Green's ascent, with its connection to the local authorities, underscores the growing acceptance of ballooning as a legitimate form of transportation and entertainment during the early 19th century. This poster, a testament to the allure of ballooning during this era, is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring human fascination with flight.
