Well folks - not sure what the story is on this card. The fesselballoon here appears to be on display/maneuvers at a large outdoor fairgrounds or arena. There is, of course, no identifying information on the card. It also appears that the ground released balloons as there are a series of objects that appear to be rising starting on the left of center and just being released on right of center. Thought that was a bit surprising as I think of balloons being an expensive novelty in the earlier part of the 1900s.

So, just wanted to share!

Great picture of a fessel rising into the air.
