Anderson's Balloons
Hans Christian Anderson's Balloon mobile Coloured cardboard 38 x 38cm. Andersen is well-known throughout the world for his fairy tales, but little is known of his passion for cutting out silhouettes, a pastime he indulged in his whole life. Among his possessions found after his death in 1875 were about 1500 silhouette cuttings, among which was a balloon silhouette motif chosen by Flensted for this Mobile.
