EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Balloon Soars: The Unmanned Inflatable Marvel that Captivated Paris on August 27, 1783 In this image from the annals of history, the unmanned hot air balloon known as "Charles" ascends into the Parisian sky from the Champ de Mars on August 27, 1783. The balloon, filled with inflammable air generated by heating iron and mixed with vitriolic acid, marks a pivotal moment in human history as the first man-made object to fly. The scene unfolds at the Champ de Mars, a popular public space in Paris, where a large crowd has gathered to witness the spectacle. The balloon, a marvel of science and engineering, rises gracefully into the heavens, leaving behind a trail of smoke and wonder. However, the joy and awe of this groundbreaking achievement are short-lived as the balloon, now named "Charles," makes its way to the village of Gonzesse. The image captures the moment when the unsuspecting peasants of Gonzesse, fearful of the unknown, attack the deflated balloon upon its landing. This photograph, a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity, offers a glimpse into the past and the awe-inspiring moment when man first took to the skies. The image is courtesy of Mary Evans Prints Online, a leading provider of historical images, and is a reminder of the enduring power of human innovation and the fascination with flight.
