EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic moment of the first manned hot air balloon flight over Paris, which took place on November 21, 1783. The Montgolfier brothers, pioneers in the field of aviation, directed the ascent of the balloon from the Jardin de la Muette under the watchful eye of the Dauphin, the future King Louis XVI. The brave passengers of this groundbreaking journey were the Marquis d'Arlandes and Pilatre de Rozier, who rose to new heights of 5,600 feet, leaving the world below in awe. The view in this image is taken from the terrace of Benjamin Franklin's residence in Passy, showcasing the Montgolfier balloon as it gracefully ascends against the backdrop of Parisian landmarks such as the church dome. This significant event marked the beginning of a new era in transportation and air travel, forever changing the way humans perceived their world and their place in it. The Montgolfier brothers' innovation brought about a sense of wonder and excitement, as the dream of soaring through the skies became a reality. This print serves as a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of the human spirit, and a reminder of the profound impact that one moment in history can have on the course of time.
