This print records an aerial performance by the aeronaut Francesco Orlandi in Bologna in 1828, a city then under papal government. The Italian title, "Elevazione aereobatica," describes a balloon flown for display rather than for travel or science. Public balloon ascents drew large crowds across Europe in the decades after the Montgolfier brothers' first crewed flights in 1783, and prints like this one carried such spectacles to viewers who could not attend in person.
