A popular song sheet from 1895, published in Sheffield by Universal Music Publishing Company, with music by George Burton and lyrics by Oswald Ling, issued in the Bella C. Landauer collection of aeronautical sheet music. The cover shows the title in blue lettering beside a blue-hatched hot air balloon named Nancy Gray. A designer might draw on its vintage blue-on-cream lettering and the fine cross-hatched shading of the balloon envelope.
