EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Equipe de femmes transportant un hemisphere du ballon Giffard" captures a remarkable moment in the history of aviation. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print showcases a team of women transporting half of the Giffard balloon. The detailed sketch, attributed to M A Tissandier, was originally published as an illustration for "La Navigation Aerienne" by J Lecornu in 1910. It offers a glimpse into early aerial transportation and highlights the pioneering spirit of those involved in flight during that era. Intriguingly, this image portrays not only the aircraft itself but also emphasizes the role played by women in its operation. The dedication and strength exhibited by these female members of the team are evident as they carry one hemisphere of the Giffard balloon with determination and grace. This engraving serves as a reminder of how far aviation has come since its humble beginnings. From this early form of air travel to modern airplanes soaring through our skies today, it is clear that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to conquering new frontiers. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this historic artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who dared to dream big and push boundaries in pursuit of flight.
