Het Jaar 1804!!! Dutch cartoon - forecasts aeronautic events for the year 1804 by showing a scene at a failing balloon ascension - published 1794
Men struggle to inflate the balloon, labelled "Lust tot Onderzoek," as labourers 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.
