Mr. Sadler's Ascent with Capt. Paget., London 1812

Summary edit

Description
English: A plebeian crowd, much caricatured, cheers the majestic ascent of a balloon. On the right is part of an old-fashioned gabled building with a large projecting sign, 'Mermaid'. On 12 Aug., to celebrate the Regent's birthday, Sadler ascended from the gardens of the Mermaid tavern at Hackney, where the spectators were said to number 3,000, with a greater crowd outside the gardens. He was accompanied by Lieut. Paget, R.N., who paid 100 guineas. They descended near Tilbury Fort seventy-three minutes later. Print by William Elmes; Published by Thomas Tegg
