EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1874 showcases a magnificent hot air balloon adorned with the vibrant French tricolor. Against the backdrop of Paris, three passengers can be seen standing proudly in the basket during an ascension on June 6th. It is believed that these individuals are Jules Duruof, his wife, and another man. The image captures the essence of late 19th-century aviation and ballooning, offering a glimpse into the adventurous spirit of that era. The color lithograph adds a touch of artistic flair to this historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back to a time when air travel was still in its infancy. The sheer size and beauty of the hot air balloon evoke feelings of awe and wonderment as it gracefully floats above the cityscape. In this photograph, we witness not only an incredible feat of engineering but also a testament to human curiosity and exploration. The composition invites us to imagine ourselves among those courageous souls who dared to venture into the skies over Paris more than a century ago.
