The image, taken from Gaston Tissandier's "Histoire des Ballons" published in 1887, transports us back to a time when the possibilities of flight were just beginning to be explored.

The balloon, filled with hot air and tethered to the ground, symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of conquering the heavens. It represents both our fascination with flight and our desire to push boundaries.
