Baldwin's view over the City of Chester from Lunardi's balloon [&] Lunardi's [balloon].

Baldwin's view over the City of Chester from Lunardi's balloon [&] Lunardi's [balloon].

[n.d., c.1796.]
Two engraved coloured scraps, the aerial view with stipple and green aquatint, glued to album page with excised captions, sheet c.147 x 212mm.
Excised from engravings by Barlow for the 'Encylopaedia Londinensis' published by J Wilkes. The full plate originally showed four early hot-air balloons arranged around the view over Chester. In addition to Lunardi's, they included Montgolfier's balloon, Blanchard's balloon, and Charles and Robert's balloon. Extremely rare.
