Utopias of aerial navigation in the 18th Century, early flight collecting card, ca. 1895

There is a big model of this at the Technical Museum in Berlin. I heartly recommend the visit.

i had no idea the thing was ever built...

The second card from an uncut set of ten, labeled "Collection 476, 2ème série", issued by Romanet & Cie. in the late 19th Century, to commemorate events in ballooning history from 1795 to 1846.

From the Tissandier Collection at the U.S. Library of Congress.
