EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases two fanciful technical drawings from the pioneering era of flight in the 1780s. Above, the intricately detailed drawing depicts the "Globe Volant" or Flying Globe, which saw its historic maiden voyage over Paris on October 19, 1783. The intrepid aviators, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and Marquis d'Arlandes, soared through the skies aboard this hot air balloon, becoming the first humans to leave the earth's surface voluntarily. Beneath the flying globe, another drawing captures the design of an Air Balloon, which was planned for a daring trans-Channel crossing from Calais to Dover by none other than Mr. Charles. The English Channel, known for its treacherous waters and unpredictable weather, presented a formidable challenge to early aviators. Yet, the allure of crossing the channel by air was too enticing to resist. These imaginative drawings, created in the early days of ballooning, offer a glimpse into the spirit of innovation and adventure that characterized the late 18th century. The artistry and precision of these technical illustrations serve as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the pioneers who dared to take to the skies and push the boundaries of human transportation.
