Titre: James Glaisher and Henry Tracey Coxwell, September 5,1862
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Drawing shows two pigeons thrown from balloon during Glaisher's test flight. One pigeon is flying and the other is dead and falling. James Glaisher (April 7, 1809 - February 7,1903) was an English meteorologist, aeronaut and astronomer. In 1837 he became Superintendent of the Department of Meteorology and Magnetism at Royal Observatory, Greenwich. He is best remembered as a pioneering balloonist. Between 1862-66, usually with Henry Tracey Coxwell as his co-pilot, Glaisher made numerous ascents to measure the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere at its highest levels. His ascent on September 5, 1862 broke the world record for altitude, but he passed out around 8,800 meters before a reading could be taken. Graphite, ink wash and lead white by Albert Tissandier.
