This print captures the historic moment of Gay-Lussac's balloon ascent from Paris on 9 September 1804. In this colorful lithograph, we witness Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Jean-Baptiste Biot embarking on a daring journey to measure temperature and humidity variations at different altitudes. Ascending to an impressive height of 7016 meters, these intrepid scientists sought to unravel the mysteries of the atmosphere. Their pioneering efforts in meteorology and physics paved the way for future advancements in understanding our planet's climate. The image showcases not only their scientific achievements but also provides a glimpse into the fashion and dress of that era. The intricate details of their attire add an element of historical charm to this remarkable scene. As they soar through the sky, suspended by nothing more than a fragile balloon, one cannot help but marvel at their courage and determination. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. Preserved within private collections, this illustration was originally featured in an unidentified Italian history book—an exquisite piece that encapsulates both scientific discovery and artistic beauty.
