EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of the Royal Vauxhall Balloon's third ascent on September 27, 1836. In the image, Charles Green, the daring balloonist, waves enthusiastically from the wicker gondola as he ascends into the early autumn sky. Accompanied by fellow passengers, they embark on an exhilarating journey, leaving the bustling streets of Vauxhall behind. The strikingly red and white balloon, adorned with intricate stripes and a prominent Union Jack flag, rises gracefully against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The passengers, dressed in fashionable attire of the 1830s, appear both excited and somewhat apprehensive as they are transported aloft, their expressions reflecting the mixture of anticipation and trepidation that came with early ballooning. With the elegance of a bird in flight, the Royal Vauxhall Balloon ascends, leaving the world below momentarily behind. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the early days of human aviation and the allure of flight.
