EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and imaginative depiction from the annals of 19th century aviation history, Charles Green, a pioneering figure in the world of ballooning, is shown riding high above London in the Coronation Balloon. The year is 1828, and the scene unfolds at White Conduit Gardens, a popular gathering place in the heart of the city. Green, dressed in the regal attire of the era, waves enthusiastically to the crowd below as he sits atop his horse, which is tethered to the basket of the grand balloon. The Coronation Balloon, adorned with vibrant stripes and the Union Jack, ascends gracefully into the early August sky, casting long shadows over the flat landscape. The platform, a common feature of the time for balloon launches, is bustling with activity as assistants and onlookers prepare for the historic flight. The excitement is palpable as Green, a master of transportation by air, embarks on this daring journey. This depiction, held in the esteemed collection of The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), transports us back to an era of innovation and adventure. The Coronation Balloon, with its regal rider and majestic horse, embodies the spirit of exploration and the boundless potential of human ingenuity. As the sun begins to rise over the city, Green and his trusty steed soar ever higher, leaving the hustle and bustle of Vauxhall behind, and continuing their ascent into the clear blue sky. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the indomitable human spirit that drives us to reach new heights.
