The French School's engraving, housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, showcases a remarkable feat that took place during the outlandish 18th century. The image transports us back to a time when transportation vehicles were still evolving, and the concept of flight was considered nothing short of miraculous. In this scene, we witness Garnerin bravely ascending into the sky aboard a magnificent balloon. As he reaches great heights, his parachute is deployed, allowing him to gracefully descend back to earth. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography perfectly captures the essence of this historical event.
