Elaborately decorated & embossed red publisher's cloth, decorative lettering & borders in gilt, silver & black, a.e.g. (minor bumping to corners, wear to corners, uniform interior light… toning, edgewear), still G copy, from library of Otto C. Winzen (1917-1979), pioneering German-American aeronautical engineer, was interned during World War II, and later significantly advanced material and construction of high-altitude balloons after World War II, w/ ownership stamp on front pastedown. Revised edition of this beautifully illustrated book on the history of balloon ascensions by the author and his brother, Gaston, as they were the most renowned balloonists of the Mid-19th-Century. Gaston Tissandier (1843-1899), was a noted chemist, meteorologist, aviator, and editor, whose works focused solely on scientific amusements as a way to encourage and promote scientific learning. He founded and edited the scientific magazine, La Nature, and even managed to escape the 1870 siege of Paris by flying a balloon, and in 1883 created the first powered airship by attaching a Siemens electric motor to an airship. Albert Tissandier (1839-1906) was a noted adventurer, aviator, architect, and archaeologist who collaborated with his brother on the magazine La Nature.

Ajouter au panierUnbound. Etat : Good. First Edition. Single sided printed hand bill, approximately 95mm x 265mm in size. Browned, trimmed quite closely, some creasing and a couple of tiny nicks. The printer was probably [Giles] Balne (fl.1799-1838) of Gracechurch Street, London (BBTI). The 'Mr. Green' was almost certainly Charles Green (1785-18…64), a professional balloonist between 1821 and 1840, this being his two hundred twenty-fourth aerial voyage. Later that year (November 1836), Green, with Mason and Holland, flew from Vauxhall Gardens London in the 'Royal Vauxhall'. The flight covered a record distance (until 1907) of 480 miles, landing in Germany after eighteen hours. Green was the first to use "coal-gas" for lift (1821), the first to use a drag rope for ballast and he made five cross-channel attempts, with three being successful, and two ending in the sea (information from ballooninghistory). Admission was two shillings and sixpence, with the Coldstream and Quadrille bands also attending. See Altick, 'The Shows of London', page 322 Size: 4to. Ephemera.

First edition of this cheeky and satirical semi-autobiographical memoir by the superstar actress documenting her adventures in an escaped balloon over the L'Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1878 with her lover, Clairin (1843-1919), who had painted the famed salon Portrait of Bernhard (1844-1923). Lured back in 1878 to the Comedie Francaise, the brilliant star with a chancy temper had been requested by the balloon's owner to make the maiden voyage ascent, but a storm ripped it from its moorings, and they eventually landed outside Paris. Subsequently, she refused to pay the 100 Francs fine as she had left Paris without permission.

Ajouter au panier3pp., foolscap 8vo. On a bifolium of laid paper. In fair condition, aged and worn. The first poem, 'Balooning [sic]', covers both sides of the first leaf. No evidence has been discovered that this poem was ever published, but it is inspired by the exploits of 'Mr. Green' in a humorous essay titled 'Ballooning', which appeared in… Charles Dickens's 'Household Words' on 25 October 1851. The choice of two phrases ('pipes & backy' and 'Mounted Meershaums') is given in the present manuscript, these variants perhaps suggesting that this item is authorial rather than a transcription. The second poem, which covers the recto of the second leaf (the verso being undated), is untitled in the manuscript, but is Harry Sydney's 'It's just as well to take it in a quiet sort of way', which was published in 1865 in London by Henri D'Alcorn [George Henry Stannard Allcorn]. ONE: 'Balooning [sic]'. 2pp. The poem is forty-eight lines long, divided into twelve stanzas, each stanza followed by the refrain 'Fal de ral.' The present poem begins: '1st. Verse | When the London people used to think of going out of Town | They'd take a Stage & that would to the Country take 'em down | But Mister Green has lately proved as clear's the sun at noon | The finest way to take the air is to take an air balloon - | Fal de lal. | 2. | The other day when Mister Green went out just for a fly | He took up two companions for a ride towards the sky | Though Lords & Butler thus ventured up they found the difference soon | For they were all reduced to Carmen when they rode in the Balloon | Fal de ral.' The poem describes their journey, made without 'fears of Highwaymen'. In the ninth stanza the travellers 'take their pipes & backy out', and the word 'backy' is glossed with the variant reading for 'pipes & backy' at the foot of the second page: 'Mounted Meershaums out.' The final stanza reads: '12. | Now we find that different trav'lers will travel diff'rent ways | Some like a railroad, some a stage & some a Horse & Chaise | Some being fond of water think a steam boat (quite) exquisite | But there's nothing like an air balloon to pay a flying visit. | Fal de ral'. TWO: Untitled [Harry Sydney's 'It's just as well to take it in a quiet sort of way']. 1p. Twenty-four lines in eight stanzas. Begins: '1 | We smile at the unnecessary trouble people take | For fortune is not regulated by the fuss we make. | I don't advise indifference, but this I mean to say: | Its just as well to take things in a quiet sort of way.' The poem was hugely popular, being described as 'a certain sort of comic singing which I can't stand' by a character in Fun magazine, 2 September 1865. The American impressario Tony Pastor (1837-1908) published a version of the poem in New York in 1868, without the following stanza of the present manuscript: 'To rise in your opinion most earnestly I hope, | But promise you I'll never mount the trapeze or the rope: | I fancy in the long run that common sense will pay; | And its just as well to take things in a quiet sort of way.'.
