Description | Broadside depicts two airship designs conceived by Ernst (Ernest) Pétin, incorporating four spherical balloons propelled by manually operated helical screws attached to a large flat surface, the lower part providing promenade decks for passengers. Surrounding text documents the history of ballooning from the Montgolfier brother's flight in 1783 to a description of Pétin's airships, ca. 1850. (Source: A.G. Renstrom, LC staff, 1981-82.) |
