Summary

Description
English: Rotundo [i.e. Rotunda] Gardens. Mr. Hampton's grand 77th ascent with his new royal Irish national balloon, Erin-Go-Bragh the first ascent this season, will take place on Easter Monday, 24th April, 1848

Poster advertisement for a parachute jump by aeronaut John Hampton on 24 April 1848 from "The Irish National Balloon, Erin Go Bragh" at the Rotunda Gardens, Dublin.

Hampton made two earlier balloon flights in Ireland on 5 September 1846. The poster boasts incorrectly that Hampton was the first parachutist, but he was preceded by Louis-Sébastien Lenormand in 1783, and others.

Erin Go Bragh is said by the poster to be "the first Balloon that was ever made in Ireland: other balloons which have been used in this country, having been constructed elsewhere." The balloon Erin Go Bragh is described as having "richly emblazoned a national emblem, under the well-known motto of 'Gentle when stroked, Fierce when provoked."
