EDITORS COMMENTS
This broadside, titled "Liste de ballons sortis de Paris pendant le siege 1870-1871" (List of balloons that left Paris during the Siege), offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of hot air ballooning during one of the most tumultuous periods in French history. Dated 1874, this print commemorates the balloon events that took place during the Siege of Paris, which lasted from September 1870 to January 1871. The centerpiece of this print is a meticulously compiled list of balloons that departed from Paris during the siege. Each entry includes the balloon's name, size, owner, balloonist, and the number of passengers and pigeons on board. The inclusion of pigeons is a testament to the role they played in early long-distance communication, as they were often used to carry messages between balloonists and ground crews. The print is adorned with four captivating illustrations that depict various aspects of ballooning during this time. The first illustration shows the "Gonflement d'un ballon" (Inflation of a balloon), providing a visual representation of the laborious process of preparing a hot air balloon for flight. The second illustration, "Descente au Montzid (Norwege)" (Descent in Montzid, Norway), portrays the thrill and excitement of a successful balloon landing in a foreign land. The third illustration, "Morte de Prince et LaCaze" (Crash at sea), serves as a poignant reminder of the inherent risks involved in ballooning. The final illustration, "Agrandissement des depeches microscopiques a Tours & a Bordeaux par Dagron & ses collegues" (Enlargement of microscopic dispatches in Tours & Bordeaux by Dagron & his colleagues), highlights the groundbreaking role that balloonists played in scientific exploration and communication. This intriguing broadside not only offers a unique historical perspective on ballooning during the Siege of Paris but also showcases the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized this era.
