| Caption | Het jaar 1804!!!. Dutch cartoon forecasts aeronautic events for the year 1804 by showing a scene at a failing balloon ascension, in the interests of scientific inquiry, possibly by "Wille van de Heeren Hopman & Loude." Men struggle to inflate the balloon, labeled "Lust tot Onderzoek," as laborers bring necessary supplies to the loading area and two draft-dogs strain at a wagon carrying "vitriol" and "spykers." Soldiers armed with swords hold back the unruly crowd of spectators. Date 1794. |
