Knabenshue's Airship At Brockton Fair

Fabulously unreal cigar-shaped balloon with pilot in dark profile over strangely gray landscape of house and trees. Is the image manipulated or not?

Knabenshue later flew airplanes and was hired as manager of the "Wright Brothers’ Traveling Exhibition" team. "Photo by D.T. Burrell."…… See http://brocktonmagenealogy.tripod.com/search/feb02.html for more info on Augustus Knabenshue.
