EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour painting depicts the momentous occasion of Charles Green's 100th hot air balloon ascent from the Mermaid Tavern in Hackney, London, on May 14, 1832. The image, from the esteemed Cuthbert-Hodgson Collection, offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation history. Charles Green, a renowned English aeronaut, is shown standing confidently beside his hot air balloon, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. The balloon, with its vibrant red, white, and green colors, is tethered to the ground, ready for takeoff. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the people gathered around eagerly await the ascent. In the background, a horse-drawn hackney carriage and a plane can be seen, offering a stark contrast to the innovative technology of the hot air balloon. The inclusion of these elements highlights the advancements in transportation during this era. The intricate details and rich colors of this watercolour painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness this historic moment. The painting is a testament to the ingenuity and adventurous spirit of the time, and a reminder of the fascination that has always surrounded the world of aviation.
