EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a rare and magical moment in history - a meteor shower seen from a hot air balloon over Northern France in November 1867. The image, captured by Wilfred de Fonvielle, transports us back to a time when flight was still a novelty and the night sky held endless mysteries.
The juxtaposition of the graceful balloon floating serenely amidst the chaos of shooting stars creates a sense of wonder and awe. It is as if we are witnessing two different worlds colliding - one grounded in earthly transport and the other soaring through the heavens.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated. In 1867, ballooning was still considered cutting-edge technology, with pioneers like de Fonvielle pushing the boundaries of what was possible. To witness such an event from above must have been truly breathtaking.
As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of our place in the universe and how small we are in comparison to its vastness. The beauty of nature's spectacle is on full display here, reminding us to always look up and appreciate the wonders that surround us.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again provided us with a window into history through their collection of prints, allowing us to experience moments like these as if we were there ourselves.
