EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a unique moment in history - the Balloon Satire of 1785. In this French satire on ballooning, we see horses being used to steer a wayward balloon, showcasing the creativity and humor of the time. The image provides a glimpse into the early days of flight, when balloons were still a novelty and people were experimenting with different ways to control them.
The intricate details in this print bring to life the excitement and wonder surrounding ballooning in 1785. From the elaborate design of the balloon itself to the determined expressions on the faces of those trying to steer it, every element tells a story about this pivotal moment in transport history.
As we study this image, we are reminded of how far we have come since 1785 in terms of aviation technology and innovation. Yet, there is something charming and nostalgic about seeing horses being used as part of a high-flying adventure.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of historical satire for us to enjoy today. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, people had dreams of reaching new heights - quite literally!
