EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Charles Green (1785-1870), a pioneering figure in the history of aeronautics and ballooning. Seated before a richly textured curtain, Green exudes an air of heroic confidence, his piercing gaze fixed on an intriguing object - a telescope poised on a table before him. The year is 1838, and Green, dressed in Victorian attire, is best known for his groundbreaking innovations in the field of ballooning. Green's most significant achievement was the substitution of coal gas for hydrogen in hot air balloons. This revolutionary advancement marked a turning point in the development of lighter-than-air transportation, making balloon flights safer, more accessible, and more practical. The coal gas-filled balloons could be inflated and deflated more easily than their hydrogen counterparts, allowing for greater control and flexibility in flight. The portrait, an original painting in the possession of Robert Holland Esq MP, captures the essence of Green's pioneering spirit and his unwavering dedication to the pursuit of aviation. Green's legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration, as he paved the way for the advancements in air travel that would follow in the centuries to come. This evocative image serves as a testament to the ingenuity, courage, and determination of one of history's most heroic aeronauts and balloonists.
