EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Charles' hot air balloon ascent, a groundbreaking event that took place on December 1st, 1783 in the meadow at Nesles, Pas de Calais, France. Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles bravely embarked on this ascension as a part of his pioneering experiment in aerostatics.
The image beautifully depicts the hot air balloon rising gracefully into the sky against a backdrop of picturesque French countryside. The sense of wonder and excitement is palpable as we witness this early form of air travel taking flight for the first time.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time by photographer Derek Bayes, we are transported back to the late 18th century when science and innovation were flourishing. The intricate details captured in this illustration serve as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity.
Through this photo print, we are reminded of the importance of pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers. Charles' daring feat continues to inspire us today, serving as a reminder that with determination and vision, anything is possible.
