EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Monsieur Sadler's ascent of the ball, accompanied by Captain Paget, in the gardens of the Mermaid tavern on August 12th, 1811. The engraving, created in Paris in 1811 as part of the Decorative Arts collection, showcases a view of Mr. Sadler's balloon ascending into the sky with him and Captain Charles Paget aboard. The hand-colored etching from the 19th century adds an exquisite touch to this remarkable image. It transports us back to a time when hot air ballooning was still a daring and awe-inspiring feat. The Library of Decorative Arts in Paris has preserved this piece as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. James Sadler, renowned for his pioneering work in aviation during that era, is depicted here embarking on yet another adventurous journey alongside Captain Charles Paget from the Royal Navy. Their courageous spirit is palpable as they soar above Hackney's Mermaid Theatre grounds. This photograph allows us to witness firsthand how these brave individuals defied gravity and embraced exploration at its finest. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, there have always been those who dared to dream big and push boundaries. As we gaze upon this extraordinary scene captured by French School artists from centuries ago, we are reminded not only of their incredible achievement but also inspired to pursue our own aspirations fearlessly.
