EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Georgiana Keate (1770-1850) and her companion, Mr. Sage, making their ascent from St. George's Fields in the hot air balloon of Jean-Pierre Blanchard and John Penn, known as 'Lunardis Balloon,' on June 29, 1785. The image, taken from the C.F.A. Pierce Collection, captures the excitement and daring spirit of the early days of aviation. Georgiana Keate, a young and adventurous woman, is elegantly dressed in a flowing gown and a bonnet adorned with a ribbon, while Mr. Sage, wearing a waistcoat and breeches, holds on tightly to the wicker basket's edge. The balloon, with its distinctive burner and envelope, rises majestically against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, leaving the bustling crowd below, including the iconic figure of Mr. Biggin, a well-known balloonist, looking up in awe. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the thrill and romance of early aviation and the spirit of adventure that defined the late 18th century.
