EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Mr. Sadler's Ascent from Hackney in 1811. Depicted here is England's first balloonist, James Sadler, as he embarks on his daring journey from the gardens of the Mermaid Tavern in Hackney, London. The occasion was none other than the birthday celebration of George, prince of Wales, on August 12th. The image showcases Saint Augustine's tower standing tall in the background, providing a picturesque setting for this extraordinary event. As one gazes at the scene, they are transported back to the Georgian period and can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air. The crowd gathered around is an eclectic mix of men and women who have come to witness this marvel of early flight. Flags wave proudly amidst a sea of faces eager to catch a glimpse of Mr. Sadler floating gracefully above them in his hot air balloon. The atmosphere is electric with energy as spectators scramble and jostle for position to get a better view. The melee created by their enthusiasm adds an element of chaos and overcrowding to this historic moment. Through this remarkable photograph captured by Derek Bayes, we are granted access to a bygone era when aviation was still in its infancy. It serves as both an homage to James Sadler's pioneering spirit and a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity.
