Joseph Liebhard wird einen großen Luftballon aufsteigen lassen. - 1825

With high sanction today, Joseph Liebhard will have a large air balloon ascend. After the balloon follows a large artistic fireworks display, a selection of beautiful pieces. (Munich), July 24, 1825. One-sheet print with woodcut illustration and typographic text. Sheet size: 53 x 44.5 cm. Liebhard had already tried in 1805, unsuccessfully, to arrange a balloon flight to take place in Frankfurt (see Liebmann/Wahl 1097). I could not learn much about Liebhard; on another well-known one-sheet print he describes himself as a "Mechanikus" and extols his skills there as a tightrope walker. The woodcut shows a small balloon, to its right several spinning firework wheels. The text describes the expected pyrotechnic spectacle in 8 points. - Top right corner with a larger loss of paper, not touching the text.

Estimate:£126.76
