EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait showcases Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, a pioneering figure in the annals of French aeronautics. Pilatre de Rozier (1754-1785) is renowned for his groundbreaking work in hot air and hydrogen ballooning. In this image, he is depicted in the act of blowing hydrogen gas into a flame, a crucial process in preparing the gas for use in balloon ascensions. The date of this photograph is estimated between 1790 and 1850, a time when ballooning was still a novel and thrilling pursuit. Pilatre de Rozier's fascination with flight began in 1783 when he witnessed the first successful hot air balloon flight by the Montgolfier brothers. Inspired by this feat, he collaborated with Marquis d'Arlandes to make the first manned hydrogen balloon flight on June 4, 1783, ascending to a height of approximately 15,000 feet. Tragically, both men perished during their second attempt on June 15, 1785, marking the first recorded fatalities in the history of aviation. Despite the risks, Pilatre de Rozier's pioneering spirit and contributions to the field of aeronautics continue to be celebrated. His legacy paved the way for future innovations in ballooning and, eventually, powered flight. This evocative portrait serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring impact on the history of human exploration and our insatiable curiosity towards the skies.
