This picture is marked by the Goodyear name on the balloon, which ties it to the company's long association with lighter-than-air craft. Goodyear began building airships in the 1920s, and its blimps later became familiar sights over stadiums, parades and city skylines, carrying the company's name across the sky. Early photographs like this one show how the public first encountered these craft, when a large gas envelope drifting overhead was still a novelty. The title's reference to "Balloon" suggests the subject is the envelope itself, so the image is worth studying for its shape and the lettering across it.
