Painting of a balloon trip to Mount Lowe as envisioned by Professor Thaddeus S.C. Lowe, ca.1895-1910

Photograph of a painting by Homer A. Hamer of a balloon trip to Mount Lowe as envisioned by Professor Thaddeus S.C. Lowe from the prospectus, ca.1895-1910. Eight passengers on a ship suspended from a huge flag festooned balloon look down on the patchwork agricultural plots in the valley below as the vehicle approaches the observatory atop Mount Lowe. The Mount Lowe Railway is also depicted. The caption reads "Painted by Homer A. Hamer, landscape artist, A1257, 406 Henne Bldg. - Los Angeles, Cal."约1895至1910年，风景画家荷马·A·哈默（Homer A. Hamer）创作了一幅描绘萨迪斯·S·C·洛厄（Thaddeus S.C. Lowe）教授依据招股说明书构想的洛厄山（Mount Lowe）热气球之旅的画作，本数据集样本为该画作的摄影作品。画面中，悬挂于装饰满旗帜的巨型热气球下方的吊篮内共有八名乘客，当飞行器接近洛厄山山顶的天文台时，他们正俯瞰下方山谷中如拼图般错落的农田。画作同时呈现了洛厄山铁路（Mount Lowe Railway）。该摄影作品的说明文字为："风景画家荷马·A·哈默创作，编号A1257，加利福尼亚州洛杉矶亨内大厦（Henne Bldg.）406室"。
