EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the fascinating world of historical balloons and airships. Published in 1893, these wood engravings showcase a collection of remarkable aerial inventions that pushed the boundaries of human exploration. The first engraving features Jean-Pierre Blanchard's balloon, which stands out with its unique design incorporating flapping wings and a parachute. This pioneering creation from 1784 undoubtedly captured the imagination of many during that era. Next, we are introduced to the Montgolfier brothers' balloon from 1783, an iconic symbol of early aviation. Its simple yet ingenious construction revolutionized air travel and paved the way for future advancements. Charles Green's balloon takes center stage in the third engraving. With his expertise as an English aeronaut, Green contributed significantly to ballooning history during his lifetime (1785-1870). Moving forward in time, we encounter Dupuy de Lome's airship from 1872. This innovative aircraft marked a shift towards powered flight and demonstrated mankind's relentless pursuit of conquering the skies. Lastly, Gaston Tissandier presents us with an electrically powered airship dating back to 1883—a testament to technological progress at that time. These wood engravings provide us with glimpses into humanity's quest for adventure and discovery through aerial exploration. They serve as reminders of our enduring fascination with flight and how far we have come since those early days when these visionary inventors dared to dream beyond earthly limitations
