This print showcases a bust-length double profile of the Montgolfier brothers, renowned French balloonists. Inspired by the gold medal designed by Houdon, this image beautifully captures their pioneering spirit and contribution to aviation history. The two images below the portrait add further depth to this historical piece. The first depicts "Projet d'un Monument à élever à Mr. Charles" in Paris, hinting at the recognition and admiration these fearless explorers received for their groundbreaking achievements. The second image portrays "Cartes des premières Voyages aérostatiques" a map illustrating the region where numerous balloon flights took place during that era. Dating back between 1780 and 1810, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary period of human ingenuity and curiosity.
