When 'The Daredevil Aeronaut' demonstrated his hot air balloon in September 1784, Londoners were enthralled. One of the largest Lambeth potteries was close to the site of Lunardi's ascent and inspired the production of these plates to sate the 'Balloon-mania' of the time. The addition of yellow is an attractive and rare variation.
