EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant and intriguing illustration of "The Ascension of Mr. Green with his Balloon, on Horseback, from the Eagle Tavern, City Road," we witness an extraordinary event from the early 1820s. Mr. Green, a daring and intrepid balloonist, prepares for an unconventional ascent, mounting his horse and attaching his hot air balloon to its back. The scene takes place at the Eagle Tavern, located on City Road, a bustling area of London teeming with activity. The illustration captures the essence of adventure and innovation, as Mr. Green embarks on his journey into the unknown, ascending into the sky on horseback with his balloon. The drawing, produced by an unknown artist in 1828, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early ballooning and the daring exploits of those who sought to conquer the skies. Mr. Green's ballooning adventure did not end at the pinnacle of his ascent, however. The illustration also depicts his thrilling descent at Beckenham in Kent. The account of this descent, which accompanied the illustration in the original article, described the excitement and trepidation felt by the onlookers as Mr. Green navigated his way back to solid ground. The illustration, now held by The Royal Aeronautical Society (National Aerospace Library), offers a captivating window into the past, transporting us back to a time when the skies were a new frontier and the possibilities seemed limitless. This intriguing snapshot of history serves as a reminder of the human spirit's insatiable desire to explore and push the boundaries of what is possible.
