    Download Image
    Colored print on paper, 1801. Humorous scene shows blue and yellow striped balloon with one man in gondola holding reins of two birds pulling balloon. Envelope of the balloon is yellow and blue with crosshatched pattern. Gondola is rather fanciful with yellow and orange trim. Birds pulling the balloon appear to be larger than the man in the gondola and are wearing blue collars to keep them from flying independently.
