EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the late Victorian era, Captain William Duncan Dale prepares for his daring balloon ascent at Crystal Palace in Sydenham, SE London, July 1892. The image, taken from the ground, showcases the courage and determination in the captain's eyes as he readies himself for this thrilling adventure. Captain Dale, dressed in a smart suit and holding a hat in his hand, stands beside his large, wicker balloon basket. The basket is filled with various equipment and supplies, including a propane gas cylinder, burner, and a number of small bags filled with hot air. Surrounding the scene are a crowd of onlookers, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they watch the preparations for the flight. The Crystal Palace, a grand Victorian structure, can be seen in the background, adding to the grandeur of the moment. The park's lush grass and trees create a picturesque backdrop for the balloon, which is tethered to the ground with ropes. A transport cart is nearby, indicating that the necessary equipment was transported to the site for the ascent. Despite the sense of adventure and excitement, there is an underlying sense of danger in this photograph. Balloon flights during this time were not without risk, and fatal accidents were not uncommon. However, the thrill of exploration and the allure of the unknown drove men like Captain Dale to take these daring risks. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the early days of air travel and the spirit of adventure that defined the late Victorian era.
