| dc.description | 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. | en_US |
