| dc.description | Allegorical print by political cartoonist H.B. (John Doyle, 1797-1868), echoing Robert Cocking's parachute accident of July 24, 1837. Joseph Hume is depicted as a aeronaut descending on Kilkenny City in a failing parachute, after being ousted from the "Middlesex" balloon. A speech bubble contains the words "Now, unless some friendly dunghill receives me, I am lost forever." Hume lost his Middlesex, England Parliament seat in the general election of 1837 and had been given a spot for Kilkenny, Ireland. | en_US |
