Text on the balloon reads advertises Mr. Rag's clothing store. Two people are standing next to the basket, and two other people are holding a rope attached to the balloon. A Mr. Rags van is partially visible behind the balloon's basket. The Richard's Roundhouse restaurant is visible in the right-hand side of the image background. This image is oriented vertically. Image 12 is nearly identical to the previous image. Image 13 is very similar to the two previous images, but here the image is oriented horizontally. Image 14 shows four men posing for a photo in and around the balloon's basket. This image was captured from approximately 50 feet from the basket.
