Title |
Love in a balloon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: From the 'Rambler's Magazine'. A balloon just above the ridge of a roof on which are spectators. It has a rectangular cage or basket in which stand Lunardi and a lady embracing. Lunardi (right) says, "Ah Madame it rises Majestically"; she answers, "I feel it does Signor". A man seated on the roof says, "Damme he's no Italian but a man every Inch of him". The balloon is striped and covered with a net. A pair of 'oars' or wings is attached to the basket. In the distance (right) is St. Paul's. 1 November 1784

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) One of many satires on the balloon ascents of Lunardi and others. Mrs. Sage (with Biggin) was to have accompanied Lunardi (see BMSat 6700) but the weight was too great. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
