These two portfolio boxes contain approximately 200 items that form part of the prints and ephemera of the Huntington Library Aeronautica Collection. The images and texts within this collection include illustrations, diagrams, and descriptions of balloons and parachutes, balloon ascents, descents, and accidents; portraits of aeronauts; and political cartoons and fanciful or documentary pictures that incorporate depictions of balloons, airships, and flying machines. The collection features prints chronicling the progression of early aeronautical history from the first manned balloon ascent launched by French brothers Joseph-Michel Montgolfier and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier in 1783, to the well-publicized ascents of famed English balloonist Charles Green in the mid 1800s.
