EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the 75th ascent of Charles Green's balloon, an aeronautical milestone that took place in Stockport on the 9th of July, 1827. The event, which was held under the patronage of Henry Hodgkinson, the esteemed Mayor of Stockport, saw Green making his first ascent from the town, with a second ascent taking place in Castle Yard. The handbill advertising the event invites the public to witness this extraordinary spectacle, which was sure to be a sight to behold. The poster, which dates back to the 1820s, depicts Green's hot air balloon soaring high above the picturesque town of Stockport, surrounded by the lush greenery of the English countryside. The image is accompanied by a band of music, adding to the festive atmosphere of the occasion. The transportation of the balloon and its passengers was undoubtedly a significant logistical feat, and the poster's text assures the audience that reliable transport will be provided to and from the event. Green was a renowned figure in the world of ballooning, having made numerous successful ascents throughout his career. The success of this particular event would no doubt have added to his legend, and it is a testament to the enduring appeal of ballooning as a form of transportation and entertainment in the early 19th century. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the excitement and wonder that surrounded such events during this period.
