Archive of 14 Hot Air Balloon Photographs, Aerial and Ground Views. Circa early 20th century. Archive of vernacular photographs documenting hot air balloon activities across multiple scenes and contexts. The group includes images of balloon inflation and tethering, uniformed personnel posed beside balloon apparatus, and several aerial views taken from elevation showing town layouts and surrounding terrain. One balloon is identified as “Tillie.” Versos include handwritten captions and markings, and several prints bear the stamp of The Kodak Place, San Antonio, Texas, while others appear unrelated to that location. Sizes vary.

Generally good with typical wear, including edge wear, toning, and scattered creasing.
