EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a momentous event in history - the first hot-air balloon flight over Paris, France in 1783. The engraving beautifully captures the scene as witnessed from Benjamin Franklin's terrace at Passy on 21 November of that year. The image showcases the magnificent hot air balloon soaring gracefully above the cityscape, with its vibrant colors and intricate design catching everyone's attention. This groundbreaking feat of aviation was made possible by Pilatre-d Arlandes, who fearlessly embarked on this historic journey alongside François Laurent d'Arlandes. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we can't help but imagine the awe and wonder that must have filled the hearts of those fortunate enough to witness such a spectacle firsthand. The River Seine flows peacefully beneath, adding an extra touch of serenity to this extraordinary moment. Transportation had forever changed with this invention; it marked a turning point in human achievement and opened up new possibilities for exploration and adventure. Ballooning became synonymous with freedom and boundless imagination. This print serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit to conquer new frontiers and push beyond our limits. It is a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even centuries later, we are still captivated by these early pioneers who dared to dream big. Let this enchanting image transport you back in time as you marvel at the courage displayed by those involved in making history take flight.
