Print, Aquatint on Paper, FOWLS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER

Uncolored etching of seven men standing in a field with three balloons aloft in the background. Lunardi, right of center, is extending his hand to shake that of James Tytler, left of center. One small hot air balloon is up-ended and descending, trailing smoke. The hot air balloon on the left may represent Tytler's Edinburgh "fire balloon" of August 1784. The balloon to the right may reresent Lunardi's craft.Handwritten note below the image identifies the men: '4. Lunardi and lovers of Aeronavigation. 1. John Mitchell 2.
