Hot air balloons lift off together in a mass ascension, a crowd-drawing spectacle that was a staple of early twentieth-century fairs and aviation meets. Launching many balloons at once let organizers put dozens of brightly colored envelopes in the sky simultaneously, turning a rare flight into a public show. Ballooning of this kind drew large crowds who came to watch the inflation, the tethered waiting, and the slow climb of the gondolas. The picture is worth a closer look for the sheer number of craft and the open fields and crowds that frame the scene.
