EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the whimsical world of "The Balloon Society's Garden Party, 1881." This enchanting engraving captures several captivating views of the event held at Lillie Bridge in London over a century ago. From filling the balloon to waving goodbye as it soars into Cloudland, each scene is filled with historical charm and wonder.
In the top left corner, we see the meticulous process of filling the balloon before it takes flight. The attention to detail and precision required for such a task is truly mesmerizing. Moving clockwise, we witness the anticipation as the balloon stands ready for its grand adventure. The excitement is palpable as onlookers eagerly await its release.
As the balloon finally takes off, guests wave goodbye with bittersweet emotions - sad to see it go but thrilled by its journey ahead. The sense of camaraderie and shared experience among attendees is beautifully captured in this moment.
This engraving by J. Simmons transports us back to a time when hot air balloons were not just a mode of transportation but symbols of freedom and exploration. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when gatherings like these brought communities together in celebration of innovation and human ingenuity.
