EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of aviation - the second attempt to fly on a balloon, known as Aerostat. The image showcases Charles and Robert descending on the Prairie de Nesle, near Paris, after their remarkable journey aboard a hydrogen gas balloon on January 12th, 1783. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 18th century, beautifully depicts this groundbreaking event. It portrays the excitement and wonder of witnessing such an innovative mode of transport for the first time. Spectators gather around to witness this historic feat unfold before their eyes. The Aerostat represents not only a technological advancement but also symbolizes human curiosity and determination to conquer new frontiers. This invention revolutionized travel and opened up endless possibilities for exploration in the skies above. Located in France's picturesque island of France region, this scene perfectly encapsulates both national pride and scientific achievement. The free-floating ball suspended in mid-air serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. As we admire this extraordinary piece of artistry captured by Photo Josse, let us remember that it is through these bold endeavors that humanity continues to push boundaries and reach for new heights.
