EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the Vivienne III balloon gracefully floated in front of the Wandsworth Gas Company in 1898.

Intriguingly, a small crowd can be seen gathered under the balloon, their faces filled with wonder and awe as they witness this marvel of technology. Meanwhile, towering industrial buildings loom in the background, serving as a reminder of progress and modernity during that time. The location is identified as Wandsworth, Metropolitan Borough of; Wandsworth, London Borough of - an area that was bustling with activity and development.

This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity while offering us a glimpse into our past.
