Robert Hollond

[2] In 1836, Thomas Monck Mason wrote an Account of the Late æronautical Expedition from London to Weilburg which detailed the journey.

[4] The commemorative painting (illustration, left) that shows a consultation before the journey is by John Hollins who later became an Associate of the Royal Academy.

Besides the painting and the book, the humorous poet Thomas Hood also wrote a comic poem to celebrate the epic journey to Nassau.

Ellen Hollond gave a François Boucher painting called "Pan and Syrinx" to the National Gallery.

[9] Her portrait in the National Gallery, London, entitled "Mrs Robert Hollond", is by the French academic painter, Ary Scheffer.
