EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing captures the surreal scene of the French balloon "Jean Bart," tethered during the Siege of Paris on the night of November 8, 1870. Amidst the stillness of the moonlit landscape, five Heurteauville military guards diligently stand guard over the aeronautical innovation, ensuring its safety from potential threats. The balloon, named after the famous French naval hero, Jean Bart, was piloted by the renowned aeronauts Tissandier brothers. The Siege of Paris, which lasted from September 19, 1870, to January 28, 1871, marked a significant moment in French history as the Prussians laid siege to the city, leading to the downfall of the Second French Empire and the establishment of the Third Republic. The use of balloons for military reconnaissance and communication during this time was a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the French forces. This image, drawn between 1870 and 1880, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the fusion of military strategy, aeronautics, and the enchanting allure of the moonlit night.
