EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the groundbreaking achievements of Charles and Robert, the Montgolfier Brothers, in the realm of flight. The image showcases three of their hot air balloons (No. 1, 5, and 5) ascending from significant locations in France: Versailles, the Chateau de la Muette, and the Tuileries Gardens. The Montgolfier Brothers, depicted in the center, are shown receiving the crown of honour from Jupiter, the king of the gods. Mercury, the mythological messenger of the gods, appears distraught, fearing the loss of his celestial job due to the new mode of transportation. The allegorical figure of the River Seine, from where these pioneers embarked on their historic flights, graces the scene below. The Latin motto, "Stat Sine Morte Decus," translates to "their honour is immortal," emphasizing the enduring impact of their invention. This print, dating back to the 1780s, encapsulates the spirit of innovation and the classical mythological elements that surrounded the Montgolfier Brothers' pioneering endeavors. Their balloon designs revolutionized transportation and left an indelible mark on history.
