EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in aviation history - the launch of the world's first hydrogen balloon in 1783. The image depicts the scene at Champ de Mars, Paris, as Jacques Charles and Anne-Jean Robert along with Nicolas-Louis Robert prepare to take flight into the skies above. The crowd gathered below watches in awe and anticipation as this groundbreaking feat unfolds before their eyes. The black and white illustration beautifully conveys the excitement and wonder of this monumental event, showcasing the ingenuity and bravery of these early pioneers of flight. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to a moment when dreams took flight and possibilities seemed endless. The energy of the spectators is palpable, their faces filled with a mixture of curiosity, excitement, and perhaps even a hint of fear as they witness history being made right before them. This engraving serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our quest for exploration and discovery. It is a testament to human innovation and determination, inspiring us to reach for new heights and push beyond our perceived limits.
