Antique Balloon Air Ship Artwork T-Shirt

Balloon Voyage on a Vintage Air Ship - This antique image of a balloon ship proves that people from the early 1800s had vivid imaginations. This image of a vintage balloon ship, fashioned after a regular ocean-going ship, is pure fantasy travel. There are six balloons holding up a wooden ship full of many people, some with telescopes, women with parasols, all taking a tour, gazing at the moon, and one gentleman lost his hat over the side. There is one central large balloon surrounded by five smaller balloons. All the balloons are hovering above, tethered to the "ship" portion that holds the people. There are also smaller wings on the side of the fantasy craft, supposedly to help steer the balloon contraption. What a great gift for steampunk lovers looking for a bit of inspiration.
