This picture places a hot-air or gas balloon over or near Los Angeles, a city that grew quickly around the turn of the twentieth century and embraced public spectacle. Ascensions of this kind drew large crowds to fairgrounds, parks, and exhibition grounds, where aeronauts often charged admission and sometimes carried paying passengers. Photographs of these events were popular souvenirs, and they now record how ballooning was once a novelty that could stop a city in its tracks. The record gives few specifics, so the scene is best read as a window onto that early era of public flight.
