Isaac Earlysman Sparrow was a passenger in a balloon flight
at Oxford, on the 23 June 1823, piloted by Charles Green (see
lot 1911 below). He paid £50 and, watched by a crowd of
some 5,000 people, had quite an eventful flight, the netting
catching a chimney on take-off and then the repairing of the
balloon during the flight with a silk handkerchief. On landing
in the trees at Nettlebed Heath, Sparrow was thrown out of
the gondola, but managed to catch a rope and saved Green
from drifting away. The tokens are believed to be by either T
Wyon or T W Ingram. Sparrow’s “Leather Sauce” was not a
commercial success, and he was declared bankrupt.
