This poster illustrates a man with binoculars peering out of his hot air balloon. Hanging from the balloon is a bird cage and a bicycle. The bird cage opens to release a group of birds. Birds are commonly associated with balloons because of their ability to observe and survey the landscape. The bird cage attached to the balloon is an illustration of this correlation.
