    Uncolored etching of the parachute descent from Mr. Garnerin's flight from St. George's Parade. The balloon is seen floating off in the background. The image is labeled with letters, suggesting that there was an associated key that is no longer present. Faint text on the print which transferred from prolonged contact with a page of text. 'Pub. June 1-1803 by Alex Hogg 16 Paternoster-row.'
