From the 'Rambler's Magazine'. A balloon just above the ridge of a roof on which are spectators. It has a rectangular cage or basket in which stand Lunardi and a lady embracing. Lunardi (right) says, "Ah Madame it rises Majestically"; she answers, "I feel it does Signor". A man seated on the roof says, "Damme he's no Italian but a man every Inch of him". The balloon is striped and covered with a net. A pair of 'oars' or wings is attached to the basket. In the distance (right) is St. Paul's. 1 November 1784
