Title: Het jaar 1804!!!
Date Created/Published: [Netherlands : s.n., 1794]
Summary: Dutch cartoon forecasts aeronautic events for the year 1804 by showing people in hysterics, possibly over an imminent balloon ascension by 'Wille van de Heeren Hopman & Loude.' From the ceiling hangs a balloon gondola in the style of Charliére equipped with Dutch flags, a cannon, umbrella (or parachute), and a barometer. On the background wall hang pictures of balloon ascents and accidents. Outside, a bill poster pastes up a notice 'Lust tot Onderzo[ek] ...' and people purchase tickets.
