Admit Ascension Lunardi Price Shillings Ticket Tissandier Aeronautics
EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique admission ticket invites one person to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of a hot air balloon ascension led by the renowned aeronaut, Vincent Lunardi. Dated around 1784, this ticket grants access to an event that would have been a significant cultural phenomenon during the infancy of aeronautics. The ticket's price of three shillings reflects the excitement and exclusivity of the experience. Vincent Lunardi was a pioneering figure in ballooning, having made his first ascent in 1785 in London, England. His ascensions became popular public events, drawing large crowds and captivating the imagination of the masses. This ticket, part of the Tissandier Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, when the skies were still a frontier waiting to be explored. The image on the ticket features a striking depiction of a hot air balloon, its fiery flames providing the lift for the basket suspended beneath. The intricate design and the use of bold, clear text underscore the importance of the event and the excitement it generated. This ticket is not only a historical artifact but also a testament to the human spirit's insatiable curiosity and the power of innovation to captivate and inspire.
