This print captures the historic moment of the "Hot Air Balloon, 1875". The Zenith, a groundbreaking aircraft, is depicted in transit between Paris and Arcachon in March of that year. This remarkable drawing, possibly by Albert Tissandier in 1878, showcases the immense achievement of being the first manned aircraft to surpass an altitude of 8,000 meters. The image portrays the Zenith floating gracefully amidst a cloudy sky. Its grandeur is evident as it soars above the French landscape with its intricate design and sturdy structure. The attention to detail in this illustration allows viewers to appreciate both the exterior beauty and technical prowess required for such a feat. As we gaze upon this piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back to late 19th-century France when aviation was still in its infancy.
