EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork captures a significant moment in the history of aviation. The print depicts a pre-flight consultation held before the groundbreaking journey of the Royal Vauxhall balloon in 1836. Taking off from Vauxhall, London on November 7th, this remarkable balloon set a record for covering an impressive distance and landed in Weilburg, Germany after 18 hours. The upper left corner showcases the magnificent balloon itself, while the men gathered around the table engage in intense discussion and planning. From left to right, we see Walter Prideaux, John Hollins, and William James. Seated at the table are Robert Hollond, Charles Green, and Thomas Monck Mason - key figures who formed what was known as the Nassau Party responsible for undertaking this daring expedition. This beautifully colored illustration is a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements during that era. It offers us a glimpse into their meticulous preparations as they discuss every aspect of this pioneering flight. The group portrait highlights these British and German individuals who played crucial roles in shaping early aviation history. Published in 1843 by J. Hollins after an engraving by J. H Robinson, this artwork serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit of progress and exploration throughout time.
