A blue hot air balloon hangs low over the rooftops here, with a tower rising through the haze behind it. Ballooning drew crowds in the early twentieth century, when crews used open fields and city parks as launch sites and tethered rides became popular attractions at fairs and exhibitions. Pictures that pair a balloon with a skyline capture the odd sense of a machine that was both a novelty and a practical way to see a city from above. Watch the soft, washed-out air in the background, which was typical of the smoky conditions over industrial cities of the period.
