Description
Album bound in quarter-vellum and marbled paper boards. A collection chiefly of prints and printed ephemera relating to ballooning, compiled by F. W. Hope, perhaps mainly in the 1830s, though the contents include much 18th-century material, and the main dated items span 1783-1852.
For fuller descriptive and historical commentary see narratives.
