Utilité Particulière, Du Vaisseau Volant - Divers Utilités
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Take on Flying Machines and Their Unconventional Uses in the 18th Century This intriguing print, titled "Utilité Particulière, Du Vaisseau Volant: Divers Utilités," offers a delightful and satirical perspective on the flying machine craze of the late 18th century. The image, dating back to 1782, features two panels, each illustrating a song with whimsical depictions of men utilizing a flying vessel, or vaisseau volant, for various purposes. On the left panel, a man in distress is shown frantically fleeing from his creditors. Seemingly desperate and out of options, he has taken to the skies in a desperate attempt to evade his debts. The humorous touch is added by the image of the man's creditor, who stands below, looking up in disbelief as his quarry soars away. In stark contrast to the man's predicament, the right panel showcases four vignettes of men engaging in noble pursuits while aboard their flying vessel. A clergyman is depicted studying the stars and consulting his celestial maps, while an astronomer observes the heavens through a telescope. Two other men, one with a fishing rod and the other with a book, enjoy leisurely activities in the sky. The illustrations satirically reference the designs of Jean Pierre Blanchard, a pioneering figure in early aeronautics. Blanchard's vaisseau volant, an airship that was never actually flown, captured the public's imagination and inspired numerous artistic depictions. This print, with its humorous take on the flying machine's potential uses, offers a fascinating glimpse into the whimsical and imaginative world of 18th-century aeronautics.
