EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment in history, depicting the ill-fated captive balloon of French aviators Messrs Godard and Panis. The image showcases the aftermath of an accident caused by a violent storm on July 7th at the World Exhibition in Chicago. In full flight, the majestic balloon was struck and damaged, resulting in severe injuries to both airmen. The engraving, originally featured in "Le petit journal" on July 25th, 1891, is now part of the Selvas collection. It offers a glimpse into the early days of aviation when such accidents were not uncommon. The intensity of this particular incident is palpable as it highlights the vulnerability faced by these pioneers of flight. The photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and determination despite facing adversity. It also sheds light on meteorology's role in transportation safety during that era. This historical artifact provides valuable insights into aerostats and their significance within society at that time. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this poignant moment through his lens, immortalizing an event that would forever be etched in aviation history. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the risks taken by those who dared to dream beyond earthly boundaries and pay homage to their unwavering spirit.
