EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the historic ascent of the Lunar Balloon, piloted by the intrepid French aviator Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his English partner, John Penn, on January 15, 1784. The image, titled "View of the Ascent of Mr Lunard's celebrated Air Balloon from the Artillery Ground (London)," was created to document this groundbreaking moment in transportation history. The scene unfolds in the Artillery Ground in London, where a large crowd has gathered to witness the event. The Lunar Balloon, a magnificent creation of its time, is shown tethered to the ground with ropes and anchored by a team of horses. Blanchard and Penn are seen standing near the basket, preparing for takeoff. The balloon, filled with hot air from a fire beneath, begins to rise, its envelope expanding as it ascends. The print captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they watch the ascent. Children point and gaze in wonder, while adults look on with a mix of awe and trepidation. The scene is filled with the vibrant colors of the balloon, the contrasting greens of the trees, and the blue and white of the sky. This print is a testament to the spirit of exploration and innovation that characterized the late 18th century. The Lunar Balloon marked a significant milestone in human history, paving the way for further advancements in aviation and transportation. The image serves as a reminder of the fascination and wonder that surrounds the exploration of the unknown and the human desire to reach new heights.
