EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heart-stopping moment in history. The image showcases a tethered balloon at the Porte Maillot in Paris, falling to earth from an astonishing height of 4000 meters. This color lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted here tells a tale of both terror and relief. In an unfortunate turn of events, the cable holding the balloon snapped due to a powerful gust of wind. As if defying gravity itself, the balloon rapidly ascended before its inevitable descent back towards earth. Miraculously, all nine individuals on board managed to survive this harrowing ordeal unscathed. Le Ballon Captif De La Porte Maillot serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers that can accompany such adventurous flights. The illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien on August 7th, 1904. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of the fear and anxiety experienced by those onboard but also their incredible luck and fortunate escape from what could have been a tragic accident. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as an enduring symbol for those who dare to take flight into unknown territories.
