The balloon in the upper left is based on the Charles and Robert's hydrogen balloon, launched December 1, 1783. The figure of the Prince of Wales is from an engraving by J.R. Smith, 1783, after a painting by Gainsborough. The group of the three princesses is adapted from an engraving by Thomas Watson, 1776, from the painting of "the three Montgomery sisters decorating a terminal figure of Hymen" by Reynolds.
