Ballooning.- Anonymous (probably late 18th century) Original drawing of a "lost" print, showing an [imagined] flight in Barcelona 1678 with a piloted balloon based on the design of Franceso Lana de Terzi, pen and ink with traces of pencil, double ruled ink borderline, on laid paper without watermark, manuscript text underneath that reads 'Facsimile drawing of the Air Ship of Captain [Z]erez di Molina from the rare Print/ in the Viaggio [?] Don Balthazar y Zuniga. Barcelona 1679 in the British Museum/ "By which it appears the cylinders were [?inflated] and it ascended from the Plaza del Maria/ on May 15th 1678 to the height of 900 ft. when one of the cylinders burst, and the vessel came [down on] the tower of the Cathedral of Barcelona and the Captain was killed on the [?spot]', sheet 480 x 310 mm (18 7/8 x 12 1/4 in), several small nicks, handling creases, small losses to edges and abrasions, surface dirt, unframed, [18th century]Illustrated:Turnor, Hatton, Astra Castra. Experiments and Adventures in the Atmopshere, Chapman and Hall, 1865, illus. p. 34 ⁂ A presumed fantastical albeit sadly imagined event, with little information on the pilot or flight and with the technical requirements of the "boat ship" being beyond the capabilities of the 17th century. The print in the British Museum that the drawing purports to be after cannot be found. The aerial ship appears to be based on a design by the Father of Aeronautics, Francesco Lana de Terzi, and shares characteristics similar to that published in his Prodromo, 1670.
