In the heart of the Tuilleries Gardens, Paris, on 1 December 1783, Professor Jacques Charles and Nicolas-Louis Robert made history by becoming the first men to fly in a manned hydrogen balloon. The atmosphere is electric as a crowd gathers around to witness this groundbreaking event. The engraving beautifully depicts the scene with intricate details, showcasing the grandeur of the gardens and the excitement that fills the air.
