1892 General Russell Balloon Fabric

1892 General Russell Balloon Fabric
(2.5x3.5") recovered from the crash in Boston Harbor that killed pilot G. A. Rogers and assistant P. Fenton. The fabric is mounted on a notarized Valhalla Aerostation certificate of authenticity and matted (20x13.5") alongside a copy of the Boston Daily Glove newspaper that featured an account of the tragedy. This is one of only eight pieces of fabric cut from a larger piece that was saved at the time of the tragedy. Extremely rare as little 19th century fabric has survived.
