This poster advertises a balloon ascent from the Champ de Mars, the open parade ground in Paris that became a favorite site for aerial spectacles. The name Pole Nord set into the design is what distinguishes this sheet from other announcements for flights in the same years. Posters like this were pasted across the city to draw crowds and sell admission, so the lettering and layout reveal how ballooning was marketed as public entertainment. Gustave Lambert's name on the sheet identifies its maker and is worth noting when reading the piece as a record of French commercial design of that era.
