Dome

Image of balloon with "Inent-Green-le-co" visibly printed across it and carrying three men and a woman (one man is sitting on the rail above the basket). A fragment of a second line of printing is also visible below the first: "...elum certe patet...." Possibly part of a quote from Ovid's Metamorphoses, "At caelum certe patet; ibimus illac" [en: 'But the sky certainly lies open; we shall go that way']. One of the men and the woman are waving flags, and an anchor is suspended below the basket. Charles George Green is handwritten in the lower right corner.For more information about this item, visit https://archivesspace.mit.edu/repositories/2/digital_objects/758
