EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment when Jacques Garnerin executed the first parachute descent from a height of 1000 meters on October 22,1797. The French School's intricate artwork beautifully depicts this early milestone in aerial exploration. Jacques Garnerin's daring feat marked a significant advancement in flight and demonstrated the potential for human beings to navigate the skies. This illustration was originally created as an accompaniment to J Lecornu's book, La Navigation Aerienne, published in 1910. The image showcases Garnerin gracefully descending through the air with his parachute billowing above him. It serves as a testament to his courage and pioneering spirit. In an era where aviation technology was still in its infancy, this achievement pushed boundaries and opened up new possibilities for future aviators. The engraving not only captures the excitement of that momentous occasion but also highlights the importance of transportation and means of travel throughout history. It reminds us how far we have come since then, with modern airplanes now serving as common modes of transport worldwide. This print is part of a private collection and is made available by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder. Its historical significance makes it a valuable piece that allows viewers to appreciate both artistry and innovation within one frame.
