Description

Mrs Margaret Graham and her husband George were famous self-styled "aeronauts" of Victorian England. By all accounts they were more famous for their frequent accidents and close shaves with death than for their talent as balloonists. Mrs Graham was famous for the first nightime balloon ascent ever by a woman, depicted in this vintage postage stamp from the island of Lundy located in the Bristol channel, off the south west coast of England. Despite her intrepid exploits and frequent close shaves with death, Mrs Graham died safely in her bed in 1880.
