EDITORS COMMENTS
This print advertisement announces the 413rd ascent of Charles Green's Royal Victoria Balloon, an aerial spectacle set to take place on Friday, 6th July 1849, at the Vicarage Grounds in Stowmarket. The renowned balloonist, Charles Green, is set to ascend once more in his majestic Royal Victoria Balloon, accompanied by an Aerial Clown, who will add a touch of whimsy to the event as he ascends from the grounds, standing nearly 18 feet in height. The excitement doesn't end there, as a band will serenade the crowds, adding to the festive atmosphere. Excursion trains have been laid on from nearby locations, ensuring easy transportation for attendees. For those seeking an even more thrilling experience, parachutes will be available for brave souls to make their descent from the balloon. As the sun sets, the grounds will come alive with the brilliant display of fireworks, providing a fitting end to an unforgettable day. This event promises to be an extraordinary experience, transporting its audience back to the early Victorian era, where the wonders of the skies and the thrill of adventure came together in a harmonious blend. The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives, housed at the National Aerospace Library, offer a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of ballooning and the pioneers who dared to take flight. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring allure of the skies and the human spirit that dares to reach for new heights.
