Greens Grosser Luftballon im Lande der Antipoden
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical print from the mid-19th century, showcasing the audacious and whimsical world of early aeronautics. The image, created by an unknown Austrian artist, humorously depicts Charles Green, a renowned British balloonist, making an unexpected landing in the Antipodes Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Green's intended voyage was a trans-Atlantic balloon flight, an ambitious endeavor that captured the imagination of the public during the age of exploration. However, this playful print imagines a very different outcome for the daring aeronaut. With a jubilant crowd of Maori people gathered around him, Green appears both surprised and delighted by his unexpected arrival in this far-off land. The print, titled "Greens Grosser Luftballon im Lande der Antipoden," is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the sense of wonder that characterized the era of early aeronautics. The image showcases the intricacies of the hot air balloon, with its burner and various control mechanisms, as well as the vibrant colors and patterns of the Maori people's traditional attire. This print, with its rich historical context and delightful sense of humor, offers a unique perspective on the fascinating world of early aeronautics and the spirit of exploration that drove it. The print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of flight, aeronautics, or the age of exploration. The print is available as a high-resolution digital file through Mary Evans Prints Online, making it an excellent choice for researchers, historians, and enthusiasts looking to add a unique and intriguing piece to their collection. The print's rights are managed by Mary Evans Picture Library, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity for your research or display purposes.
