EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving captures the historic moment of the Montgolfier Brothers' balloon experiment in the garden of M. Reveillon on October 19,1783. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and awe as spectators gather around to witness this groundbreaking event. In the center of the image stands a magnificent hot air balloon, known as an aerostat or globe aerostatique, ready for its inaugural flight. Piloted by Francois Pilatre de Rozier and either Gerond de Villette or the Marquis d Arlandes, this flying machine represents a remarkable invention that would forever change human history. The crowd surrounding the balloon is filled with anticipation and curiosity. People from all walks of life have come together at Hotel Titon in Paris to witness this extraordinary feat. Flames rise from beneath the balloon, filling it with hot air that will lift it off into the sky. As onlookers gaze up at this marvel of engineering, their faces reflect a mixture of excitement and wonderment. It is as if they are witnessing something truly magical unfold before their eyes. This beautifully detailed engraving not only captures a significant moment in aviation history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unending quest for exploration and discovery.
