H.C.A. Balloons, black

Designed by Christian Flensted

 

Hans Christian Andersen is beyond his fairy tales also known for his paper cuttings of silhouettes.

 

In 1853 he made a little story about hot air balloons, inspired by the Frenchman Henri Giffard who flew 25 km from the hippodrome in Paris to Trappes.
