About This Design
Hot Air Balloon, La Minerve 1803 travel in style Postcard
La Minerve, an extravagant hot air balloon design proposed in 1804 by the French engineer E. G. Robertson. This massive balloon would have weighed 80 tonnes, and was intended to carry up to 60 scientists across the oceans on great voyages of discovery. The design included sleeping areas, a library, a church, laboratories, a separate ladies quarter (lower left), a huge storage barrel (bottom), a cannon, and several smaller balloons for scouting trips. The main vessel could be converted to a ship for a water landing. The design was never built.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
