Another special balloon picture, thanks for showing this rare one of the
Königliche bayerische Feldluftschiffer-Abteilung Nr.4. Bayern units were more or less seperate from the German (Prussian Army).
I miss in this picture the lines which held the balloon to the ground (therefore the ine German word Fesselballon was used
) and the great many people to launch the balloon. Probably there is an explanation for it, but I could not make it out.
Have you already progressed with the difficult German handwriting ?
Cheers
