EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Montgolfiers smoke balloon being attacked by frightened country folk" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image captures the aftermath of the Montgolfier brothers' first successful balloon landing in Genesse, which unexpectedly terrified the local villagers. Startled and bewildered, they react with fear and aggression towards this strange contraption that has descended upon their tranquil countryside. As we gaze at the scene, we witness a chaotic clash between progress and tradition. Frightened country folk armed with agricultural tools surround the enormous hydrogen-filled balloon, attempting to ward off what they perceive as an otherworldly intruder. Even priests have arrived on the scene, seeking to exorcise this mysterious flying object from their land. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's initial resistance to innovation and change. It encapsulates both curiosity and apprehension towards new technologies that challenge established norms. Through its lens, we can almost hear the gasps of astonishment mingling with shouts of terror echoing through time. The artist Whitemay skillfully captures not only historical accuracy but also evokes emotions within us - awe for human ingenuity juxtaposed with trepidation rooted in unfamiliarity. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on our own reactions when confronted with groundbreaking advancements that push boundaries beyond our comfort zones.
