EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the first manned free balloon flight on November 21, 1783. The image depicts Francois Laurent le Vieux d'Arlandes and Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier, two brave pioneers of aviation, soaring high above the ground in their Montgolfier balloon. The print serves as an educational tool, illustrating the remarkable advancements made in both science and transportation during the 18th century. It showcases the fusion of chemistry and physics that enabled this groundbreaking feat to take place. As we gaze at this engraved masterpiece, we can almost feel ourselves floating alongside these courageous aviators. The absence of people within the image allows us to focus solely on the magnificent hot air balloon itself. Its grandeur is emphasized by its size relative to surrounding structures, reminding us of just how awe-inspiring this invention was at that time. This print pays homage not only to Le Vieux d'Arlandes and De Rozier but also to all those who have contributed to our understanding of flight throughout history. It reminds us that behind every great achievement lies a dedicated teacher or educator like Daniel Russelman, whose knowledge paved the way for future generations. As we admire this piece of art from France's past, let it inspire us to push boundaries and explore new frontiers in our own lives. Let it serve as a reminder that with determination and innovation, anything is possible - even reaching for the skies.
