Entitled "Balloon crash CVS01_01_031 (Tales of balloon flight)", this hand-coloured engraving transports us back to the 1st of September, 1874. French balloonists Jules and Caroline Durouf found themselves in a perilous situation when their balloon, Le Tricolore, crashed into the unforgiving waters of the North Sea.

English fishermen Oxley and Buscone bravely come to the aid of the stranded Duroufs, defying treacherous conditions to save their lives. The image exudes a sense of heroism and camaraderie as these individuals from different nations unite in a shared mission to ensure survival. Part of the Cecil Victor Shadbolt collection dating from 1882-1892, this Victorian engraving offers us a glimpse into an era where adventure and exploration were at their zenith. It serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity during times when aviation was still in its infancy.
