"Aeronauts: Pioneers of the Skies" Embark on a journey through history as we explore the fascinating world of aeronauts and their daring feats. From the iconic ascent of Mr Sadler in Nottingham, to Sophie Blanchard's breathtaking balloon flight in Milan, these brave individuals pushed the boundaries of human exploration. In 1901, witness the awe-inspiring sight of The Santos Dumont Air-ship gracefully rounding the Eiffel Tower, capturing hearts and imaginations alike. Meanwhile, at Royal Vauxhall, pre-flight consultations take place as nerves mix with excitement before taking to the skies. Vicente Lunardi takes center stage with his balloon test flights and ascents that left spectators spellbound. His courage knew no bounds as he soared high above, defying gravity itself. Joining him is Andre Jacques Garnerin - a true trailblazer who not only became France's first parachutist but also revolutionized aerial adventures around 1800. Joseph Mangot's name echoes through time as another remarkable figure in aviation history. His contributions paved the way for future generations to soar higher than ever before. And let us not forget Alberto Santos-Dumont, whose Brazilian spirit propelled him to become an esteemed aeronaut known worldwide. From Europe to South America and beyond, these captivating images transport us back in time. Gaze upon "Vista del globo areostatico qe se hecho ante Ss" or marvel at The Nassau balloon passing over Liege under cover of night in 1836. Finally, we find ourselves immersed in Thomas Rowlandson's artwork titled "Aerostation out at Elbows or The Itinerant Aeronaut. " This whimsical piece captures both the challenges and joys faced by those who dared to dream big amidst societal expectations during its creation in 1786. Join us on this mesmerizing journey into humanity's quest for the skies.
