EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the historic Blanchard balloon ascent in Little Chelsea, London, which took place on a crisp October Saturday in the 1780s. The scene showcases the moment of launch as Jean-Pierre Blanchard, a pioneering French balloonist, readies himself for takeoff. Dressed in military attire, Blanchard stands next to his hot air balloon, which is adorned with bold red and white stripes, reminiscent of the French flag. The balloon is tethered to the ground, with the help of local militiamen, who ensure a safe and controlled ascent. The academics and scholars of the time, gathered as spectators, observe the scene with great curiosity and fascination. The era's transportation technology is on full display, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians in the background, adding to the sense of wonder and excitement.

This photograph, taken from the National Aerospace Library's extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the early days of ballooning and the awe-inspiring moments that shaped the future of aviation.
