EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Vista del globo aereostatico que se hecho ante sus magesta des y su real familia" captures a momentous event that took place on the 8th of January in 1793. The image showcases Vincente Lunardi, an esteemed Italian aeronaut, ascending from the Royal Palace in Madrid. The scene is filled with excitement as men and women cheer onlookers gather to witness this historic ascension. The balloon, beautifully illustrated with intricate details, looms above them against the backdrop of the palace. Its gondola hangs below, ready to carry Lunardi into the skies. Intriguingly, this print also features the coat of arms representing royalty and nobility. It serves as a reminder that even members of high society were captivated by Lunardi's daring feat. This piece belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection and was published in 1793. It offers us a glimpse into an era when hot air balloons were still considered groundbreaking inventions capable of capturing people's imaginations. As we admire this remarkable engraving today, we can't help but feel transported back to that exhilarating day in history when Vicente Lunardi defied gravity before his majesties and their royal family.
