Description: | Hot air balloons were invented in France in 1783 by the Montgolfier Brothers, and were for many years the only form of manned flight. Festivals such as this one (held in Crystal Palace Park, South London) were often held in good weather to bring balloons (and amusement) to a wider audience. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1900 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
