EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the early days of ballooning in the 1830s, as a green hot air balloon prepares for ascent at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The scene is set at a serene lake in the heart of the gardens, surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque landscapes. Charles Green, a renowned English balloonist, is seen making final preparations for the flight with the assistance of his team. Edward Spencer, a fellow balloonist, looks on from the shore, adding to the anticipation of the crowd gathered around. The balloon, filled with hot air, begins to ascend gracefully, lifting off the ground with a gentle sway. A raft is seen anchored in the lake, ready to be used for transportation once the balloon has descended. The tranquil lake, with its reflection of the scene, adds to the surreal beauty of the moment. Swans glide across the water, seemingly unperturbed by the spectacle unfolding above them. The gardens, located in Dagenham, Essex, were a popular destination for balloonists in the early days of aviation. The balloon, with its vibrant green color, stands out against the clear blue sky, as it ascends higher and higher. The excitement of the crowd is palpable, as they watch the scene unfold before them. The early 1830s marked the beginning of a new era in transportation and exploration, and this photograph captures the essence of that spirit of adventure." This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library) from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is a fascinating glimpse into the history of ballooning and the early days of aviation.
