This is the unique original Gouache painting by John Keay.

As the balloon sailed high above the clouds, James Glaisher fainted from lack of oxygen. Unable to manipulate his numbed fingers, Henry Coxwell managed to pull the valve-cord with his teeth - and the balloon began to descend.

From a feature on the history of meteorology published in Look and Learn 968, 27th September 1980.
  • Artist Biography
    John R Keay; UK
    Artist who contributed to the 'This Made Headlines' and 'Dateline' series which appeared on the inside front cover of Look and Learn in the late 1970s.

    Keay had a highly distinctive style, achieving an unusual smoothness of texture in his illustrations, both in colour and black and white. He usually signed his pictures “Keay”. Keay was represented by John Martin & Artists and also illustrated books, including Kings of Israel by David Kent (1981).

    John Keay is not to be mistaken for Jack Keay (qv) who also contributed to Look and Learn.
