EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic photograph captures the essence of French aeronautical history. The "French Le Tricolore" balloon, depicted in this colour lithograph from 1874, showcases the ingenuity and adventurous spirit of the 19th century. The image portrays a momentous ascension in Paris on June 6th, possibly featuring Jules Duruof, a renowned balloonist of his time, accompanied by his wife. The magnificent tricolor flag proudly waves against the backdrop of a clear blue sky as the hot air balloon begins its ascent. The intricate netting enveloping the balloon adds to its visual appeal while ensuring safety during flight. The basket below serves as both a functional and romantic element, carrying passengers who were brave enough to embark on such airborne adventures. This scene encapsulates not only France's rich ballooning heritage but also highlights the advancements made in aviation during that era. The coloured engraving beautifully depicts every detail with precision and artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when humans defied gravity and soared through the skies with grace and elegance. It is truly an homage to human curiosity and our unyielding desire for exploration.
