One of a series of original lithographs depicting various balloon expeditions. Since the invention of balloons, the public soon became blase at the sight of a simple ballon ascent and aerial showmen tried to find ways to make it interesting, some by doing animal ascents. This lithograph shows a Frenchman Margat astride his white stag "Coco" who ascended from the Tivoli Gardens in Paris on 5 June 1817.
The lithograph is framed in a soft green Twist frame measuring 34 x 43cm.
