Ascent of the Nassau Balloon, from Vauxhall Gardens, on Saturday, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Ascent of the Nassau Balloon, from Vauxhall Gardens, [London], on Saturday, 1850. A grand fete was given at these Gardens on Saturday, when the most attractive scene was the ascent of the Nassau Balloon, with Mr. [Charles] Green and Mr. [George] Rush. Three of the members of the Nepaulese Embassy were present, to whom the balloon, when inflated, was an object of great interest, as was also the ascent. They examined the balloon with great minuteness, and its construction evidently excited their wonder and admiration. As it ascended they stood gazing at it with marked curiosity and attention, and remained on the spot until it was almost lost to view'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
