EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century poster transports us to a time when the skies were filled with wonder and imagination. The vibrant colour litho print showcases an extraordinary invention - a dirigible balloon in the shape of a fish. This whimsical creation, designed by the French School, captures our attention with its unique and fantastical concept. The poster serves as an advertisement for subscriptions to witness this remarkable spectacle firsthand. It depicts a trout-shaped airship equipped with cannons that serve as its means of direction. A swan-shaped gondola gracefully hangs beneath it, adding elegance to this unconventional flying vessel. As we delve into the details of this design, we are left in awe at the ingenuity behind it. The prototype envisions an aerostat unlike any other before it – combining elements of nature and technology seamlessly. Its globe-like structure adds further intrigue to its potential capabilities. Brought to life through lithography, this artwork from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris invites us on a journey through history's fascination with ballooning and airships. While commercial use is not mentioned here, one cannot help but imagine how such an invention could have revolutionized transportation or sparked new adventures in uncharted territories. This mesmerizing print reminds us that art has always been intertwined with human aspirations and dreams of conquering new frontiers – both within ourselves and beyond our earthly bounds.
